In addition, states are trying to further increase the supply of child care by funding initiatives to support and encourage the entrance of new child care providers into the market. At the same time that states are expanding their programs and attempting to increase supply, they appear to be maintaining child care standards and enforcement practices. However, it is too soon to know how effective these efforts will be in meeting the child care needs of poor families. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-98-148/html/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-98-148.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-98-148/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-98-148.pdf GAO/T-HEHS-98-148 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-98-148 Testimony GAO/T-HEHS-98-148; Child Care: States' Efforts to Expand Programs Under; Child care programs Welfare recipients State-administered programs Public assistance programs Disadvantaged persons Subsidies Eligibility criteria Child Care and Development Block Grant HHS Child Care and Development Fund HHS Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program California Connecticut Louisiana Maryland Oregon Texas Wisconsin Public Law 104-193
