Child care is an economic driver for communities across Alaska, but many communities are facing a shortage of child care opportunities. The Community INNOVATION Grant supports current and new community projects responding to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to increase and sustain the availability of high quality, affordable licensed child care across Alaska. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
