Financial Assistance

Child Care Assistance Program

Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP)
CCAP helps pay for child care so low income families can work, job search, or attend school while moving towards self-sufficiency. CCAP helps pay for children up to age 12 and for children with special needs up to age 14.

There are three types of funding:

• Families participating in Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP)
• Families that had an MFIP case close within the last 12 months (TY)
• Low-income families that may be eligible for the Basic Sliding Fee program (BSF)

Application
