Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani(@NYCMayor):Home-based providers are the backbone of our child care system. Universal child care would not be possible without them. They should not have to shoulder emergencies on their own. That's why we’ve announced a new $3 million Emergency Microgrant Fund for the caregivers who care for New York’s Cutest. If a refrigerator breaks, a pipe bursts, or a storm damages a home, New York City will show up before a crisis becomes a closure. That’s how we build a child care system that values every provider and every family.
