Child care subsidy

The Liberty Zone project was created to improve access to child care assistance. If you live or work below 14th Street, you may be eligible for a child care subsidy from the state of New York.

Parents have the freedom to choose their child care providers, as long as they are within the five boroughs and are willing to participate in the program.

Income Eligibility Guidelines
