HF 412: Relating to unhoused persons participating in the state child care assistance program
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill relates to unhoused persons participating in the state child care assistance (CCA) program. The bill defines “unhoused” as lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and lists circumstances in which a person qualifies as unhoused. Under current law, a person may be eligible for CCA if the person is seeking employment. Eligibility for CCA based on seeking employment is limited to days during a 12-month period. The bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to extend the 30-day limit if the child is under six years of age and the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian who is seeking employment is unhoused.
