Mayor Eric Adams announced major forthcoming funding for Childcare Quality and Innovation at philanthropic group Robin Hood’s annual benefit to support poverty reduction in the city on May 9.

The funding announced includes $50 million from Robin Hood and an additional $50 million from the city in the next four years, as a result of state and federal block funding. The Childcare Quality and Innovation Initiative is a part of Adams’ larger childcare plan, which will be released in the next few weeks.
