In 2022, New Orleans voters backed a property tax increase to fund more than 1,000 childcare seats for low-income families. New Orleans' childcare budget increased to $21 million from $3 million annually for 20 years.
Residents of Travis County, Texas, will decide on increasing property taxes by 2.5-cents to broaden access to childcare for low-income families, reflecting a growing trend of funding childcare through local taxes.
