Despite recent improvements, Latino families in New York continue to face significant challenges when applying for child care subsidies, according to a new study.

The report, released by the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families, sheds light on the experiences of staff who implement the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). They describe a disproportionately low rate of subsidy receipt among Latino children in New York, a state home to over one million children who are part of the demographic.
