EARLY CHILDHOOD: Requests the legislative auditor to perform an audit or evaluation of services and supports provided to recipients of financial assistance through the Child Care Assistance Program

HR 276 is a resolution requesting the legislative auditor to audit services provided to recipients of Louisiana's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). It specifically asks for an evaluation of supportive services (like employment assistance) available to low-income parents and guardians who receive CCAP, as current support for transitioning out of poverty is limited. The audit must be completed by March 2027 and will assess how well CCAP recipients access services to achieve self-sufficiency. This resolution directly affects CCAP recipients, who rely on the program while working or attending school.
