New report reveals child care crisis for homeless parents in NYC shelters. Despite city agencies offering vouchers, only a third of parents can access them. Without reliable child care, parents struggle to job hunt, train for work, or attend appointments. Shelters offer drop-in centers, but they often clash with shift jobs. Vouchers have long waitlists and require already having a job, creating a tough loop. Mothers like Tianna Daniels share the daily grind of juggling online classes, interviews, and trainings with her nearly ten-month-old son. The report notes that seventy-eight percent of parents faced job losses or cuts due to child care gaps. City leaders push universal child care, but waitlists wont budge soon, highlighting the ongoing barrier to stability for homeless parents.
