TWC accepts $25.94 million in local childcare matching funds for board contract year 2025
Summary
The Texas Workforce Commission voted to accept $25,938,731 in local donations and match agreements to help secure federal CCDF funds for board contract year 2025.
The Texas Workforce Commission voted to accept local childcare donations and pledged match amounts totaling $25,938,731 for board contract year (BCY) 2025, staff said.
Steven Sager of TWC’s Workforce Development Division told commissioners the submission package includes two donations and 71 match agreements from 24 local workforce boards included in the meeting materials. Boards collectively secured 9.18% of the statewide childcare local match targets for BCY 2025, and staff reported that all 28 boards met at least 100% of their individual targets.
Why it matters: Local match funds are required under federal rules to secure a portion of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) allocations. Accepting the pledges allows TWC to proceed with matching documentation necessary to claim federal funds for childcare services.
Commission action - Motion to approve: The commission voted to accept childcare pledges, donations, transfers and certifications of expense for BCY 2025 in the amount of $25,938,731 as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously on the record.
Quote - “Boards have secured a 9.18% of the statewide childcare local match targets for BCY ’25,” Steven Sager said when presenting the item.
Ending - Staff recorded the vote and will proceed with the federal documentation and follow-up required to apply the local matches to CCDF funding.
