Low-income moms losing access to child care help

The Mass Budget and Policy Center reported today that the state has been decreasing funds allotted for child care subsidies over the past year. In order to maintain their subsidies, parents must work at least 30 hours per week but many of the moms coming to the YMCA in Springfield have seen their hours cut because of the downturn in the economy. It's tough because if they lose their subsidies, the moms will struggle to find a safe place for their kids while the moms try to keep their diminished jobs.
