Oregon's ERDC subsidies enable thousands of parents to work and support their families. ERDC ensures that children are in nurturing environments while their parents are at work. State budget cuts are set to eliminate funding for the program for half of the families currently in the program. This will affect THOUSANDS of children and prevent thousands of parents from working or providing adequate care for their children. Daycare providers and childcare employees will also be affected. The economic impact will be severe.
