NYC to offer child care assistance to low-income, undocumented families

NEW YORK (PIX11) — Mayor Eric Adams’ administration on Wednesday unveiled the “Promise NYC” plan, a first-of-its-kind program that will provide child care assistance to low-income families with children whose immigration status makes them ineligible for federally funded subsidized child care.  

The program establishes partnerships with community-based organizations that have deep ties to immigrant communities in their respective boroughs, and it comes amid an influx of undocumented migrant families bused to New York City from southern states.
