ARP: Phoenix AZ, Investing in Flexible Child Care

Idea Category: Child Care | Funding Source: American Rescue Plan

Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego is using the one-time influx of funds from the American Rescue Plan to build a stronger, more resilient Phoenix, with an eye toward responding to the community's input and feedback. For instance,  the issue of child care came up repeatedly from both companies and city workers at the Phoenix airport. Given the 24-hour nature of business at the airport, the need for child care is not limited to traditional hours. In response to demand, Gallego’s team returned to a similar theme: Meet people where they are. They are now working to create a child care center at the airport. As plans move forward, the city of Phoenix is providing vouchers to airport employees to help cover the cost of child care.
