"San Francisco expanded an existing program this week launched by former mayor London Breed that now provides free or deeply discounted child care for two-thirds of SF children five and under, but due to lack of public awareness, most eligible families still don't know it exists. As SFist reported earlier this week, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced the city is expanding existing child care subsidies"
"Per an SFGov announcement, families can choose from a list of over 500 local childcare programs, saving them tens of thousands of dollars a year. Families are being forced to make impossible choices delaying having children, sacrificing savings, or leaving the communities they call home, said Lurie, per KQED. I will not let that be the future of San Francisco. And we're not going to take four years to roll this out, Lurie added, per Mission Local."
San Francisco expanded a childcare subsidy program to provide free or deeply discounted care for two-thirds of children age five and under. Families below 150% of area median income qualify for free care, while families between 150% and 200% receive 50% reimbursement. The program covers over 500 local childcare providers and can save families tens of thousands of dollars annually. Low public awareness means most eligible families remain unaware. City leadership emphasized faster implementation and compared rollout timelines with other major cities. The program originated from a 2018 commercial real estate tax measure intended to expand coverage.
