Child Care

The data for this report comes from the Client Assistance for Re-employment and Economic Support (CARES) Child Care Payment System Management Report.  Prior to November 2000, these counts exclude child care paid under contract (including migrant child care, on-site child care at job centers, or tribal child care) and child care for Milwaukee's foster and kinship care cases. Families served are those with one or more children with at least one issuance in the report month.
