DE Child Care Subsidy - Homelessness

Parent/caretakers who are homeless and whose countable incomes are equal to or less than Child Care Income Limit for their family size) can receive income eligible child care services exclusive of meeting any other need requirement. The Division of Social Services (DSS) defines homeless as:

·      Families living in a shelter or receiving emergency assistance to live in a temporary arrangement (an example of a temporary arrangement are those families receiving assistance to live in a local motel); or

·      Families without a fixed address or not living in a permanent dwelling (examples of families without a fixed address are families living in cars or tents, excluding families who live with other families).

DSS will provide child care services to homeless families for up to three months or until the family is able to obtain suitable living arrangements. Once families have obtained suitable living arrangements, child care services can only continue if families have another need for service, such as the family needs child care in order to work.
