CCAMPIS Reauthorization Act

Bill 118 s 5033, also known as the CCAMPIS Reauthorization Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to reauthorize the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program, which provides funding to support the childcare needs of low-income parents who are pursuing a postsecondary education.

The CCAMPIS program was originally established in 1998 and has been reauthorized several times since then. The program provides grants to institutions of higher education to support the establishment or expansion of campus-based childcare services for student parents. These services help student parents access affordable, high-quality childcare so that they can continue their education and ultimately improve their economic prospects.

The CCAMPIS Reauthorization Act seeks to continue funding for the program and make improvements to ensure that it is meeting the needs of student parents effectively. The bill includes provisions to increase the amount of funding available for grants, expand eligibility criteria for institutions applying for funding, and require reporting on the outcomes of the program. Overall, the CCAMPIS Reauthorization Act aims to support student parents in their pursuit of higher education by providing them with the childcare services they need to succeed. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, and its passage would ensure that the CCAMPIS program continues to support student parents for years to come.
