DELC is facing an addtl budget cut of up to 5% in the 2026 session which would potentially impact other programs like Preschool Promise, OPK, Healthy Families, etc.
I know for me, Preschool Promise and Healthy Families were VITAL free programs for my children when I was leaving a DV relationship.
Flagging for parents and child care providers /biz owners who use ERDC (or child care subsidy)
DELC reported that the ERDC child care subsidy program has a budget deficit of $93 million to $111 million for the 12,000 current families it serves. The program is expected to run out of money in Jan 2027

My office has produced a brief report that addresses the tax burden myths that are driving the current push to halt the Preschool for All revenue collection. Credit goes to my Senior Policy Advisor and Chief Economist Dr. Erik Dean. Bottom line: taxes are not driving people out of the county 🧵
✨ Bottom line: Preschool for All is delivering for kids, families, and educators—exactly what voters demanded. If you value:
✅ Free, high-quality preschool
✅ Local democracy
✅ Smart, equitable investment
📣 Now’s the time to call your legislators! Let’s keep PFA on track through 2030 and beyond.
🚨 Heads-up, neighbors: our Preschool for All program (approved by 64 % of MultCo voters) faces a last-minute push in Salem to suspend its funding. Let’s talk facts, not fear. 🧵👇🏾
