NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Mayor Eric Adams signed a package of seven bills Wednesday meant to support mothers, working parents, caregivers and families in New York City.
Adams said two of the bills carry out promises made in his administration's "Accessible, Equitable, High-Quality, Affordable: A Blueprint for Child Care & Early Education in New York City" by creating a portal for accessible child care subsidies and a directory of child care programs in the city.
"We are signing a package of seven child care bills to reaffirm our administration's commitment to our city's families and children and to say to working mothers and families that you are not alone," he said in a statement. "Raising a family in New York City should not be impossible, and today we are providing families with the support of an entire city in helping to raise their children."
Other laws enacted will establish a child care advisory board and mandate that a mayor-designated administering agency establish a three-year child care grant pilot program by July 1.
"We know that nothing holds back opportunities or success at work more than lack of child care in this city, so this slate of legislation will even the playing field by supporting mothers and families," Adams continued.
