A publication of the Mississippi Low-Income Child Care Initiative | January 2025

Dear CCLT Members & Partners,


You shared. We listened. Now we're ready to give you a preview of our new report on the impacts of the 2025 CCPP funding cuts and application pause ahead of the official release.


You are invited to join us for a statewide webinar on Friday, January 9 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss the release of When Child Care Funding Falls Short: How CCPP Revenue Cuts Are Impacting Mississippi Providers and Families. Zoom details are below.


During this webinar, we will:

  • Preview key findings from the new MLICCI provider survey report
  • Share details about the upcoming January 13 news conference
  • Discuss what we know about the federal funding freeze
  • Review policy options and next steps for restoring stability


Thank you to those who raised their voice by submitting your sincere input on our survey and reporting the severe harms you've faced. Your voice and experience are critical as we work together to elevate what providers are facing across Mississippi.


In partnership,

Carol Burnett

Executive Director, MLICCI

ABOUT MLICCI
In Mississippi, one of the biggest barriers to employment for low-income single moms is access to child care. Because we believe that no mother should have to choose between the job she needs and the child she loves, MLICCI works to improve the state’s child care assistance program and strengthen the financial viability of the child care centers that serve low-income mothers.
