Temporary Child Care Assistance Program

Temporary child care assistance program targets families affected by recession

The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) has created a new federally funded program called Temporary Child Care Assistance (TCCA) that will be operated under the state's Child Care Program. The program, which ends in September 2010, will provide time-limited assistance with child care costs for families that qualify.

To qualify for TCCA, a person must:

Be a Georgia resident

Be actively involved in either job readiness training, vocational training, technical school or college

Be unemployed or work part-time

Have income that falls within the income guidelines

Care for a child who is 12 years old or younger (or 17 years or younger if they have special needs)


To receive TCCA benefits, families must either apply directly online or call 1-866-371-8222 to receive a paper application by mail.
