TWC accepts nearly $15 million in childcare local‑match pledges for BCY 2025
Summary
The commission accepted $14,960,890 in local childcare match pledges from 10 workforce boards to support CCDF allocations for board contract year 2025.
The Texas Workforce Commission accepted $14,960,890 in local childcare matching pledges for board contract year (BCY) 2025.
Steven Sager of TWC's Workforce Development Division said 10 boards — Dallas, Deep East Texas, Golden Crescent, Gulf Coast, Lower Rio Grande, North Texas, North Central Texas, Northeast Texas, South Texas and Texoma — submitted match agreements totaling $14,960,890. Staff reported boards had secured 43.6 percent of the statewide childcare local match target for BCY 2025, and 12 boards had secured at least 50 percent of their target.
The commission voted to accept the pledges as presented.
Why it matters: Local match pledges are required under federal regulations and state rules to leverage federal CCDF dollars and expand child‑care services. Accepting pledges allows TWC to allocate corresponding federal funds to the boards.
Next steps: Staff will process the match agreements and move ahead with CCDF allocations tied to these local funds.
