Report Details Child Care Subsidy Gaps for Single Mothers in Nevada
What happened
The Jeremiah Program, in partnership with the Urban Institute, published a report identifying child care as a significant challenge for single mothers in Nevada. The report found that while the state provides subsidies for low-income households, only about 10% of eligible families participate in the program.

Why it matters
The high cost of licensed care in Nevada is substantial, ranging from 9% to 12% of median household income for married couples, compared to 25% to 35% for single mothers. This disparity highlights gaps in state subsidy delivery, which affects economic stability for single mothers.
Both Nevada and New Mexico are ranked among the toughest states for single mothers.
