Budget disputes between New York City and Albany have caused the waitlisting of families applying for the Child Care Assistance Program, critical for over 60,000 families, especially in the Bronx. First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro cited a $350 million funding shortfall as the reason for this development. Mayor Eric Adams opposed the suggestion that the city should bear half of the program's cost, calling this shift of financial responsibility unjust, given the program's historical funding by the state.
