This month, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam launched the Return to Earn Grant Program, which will match payments from eligible small businesses to provide new hires with up to $1,000 to support their transition back into the workforce in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. To help address ongoing workforce shortages in child care, qualifying child care businesses may qualify for up to $500 per new hire without any employer match requirements. For additional information on requirements and to apply for Return to Earn grant funding, read the press release from the Governor's office here.
