Before and After School Affordability Grant 2024
May 28th, 2024Important Info
Hello Umbrella Families,
We are excited to share that the City of Hamilton has informed us of the continuation of one-time funding in 2024 to support the Before and After School Affordability Grant initiative that started in 2023.
What is the Before and After School Affordability Grant?
The purpose of this grant is to support equitable and affordable child care access across the system by reducing the before and after school market rate charged to families and caregivers to $15/day for school aged children (ages 6 to 12 years). This will directly reduce the cost for families and caregivers who are currently paying market rates to access before and after school care.
All Umbrella Families will sign a document for the Before and After School Affordability Grant starting in September 2024.

If you have any questions around the BASP Affordability Grant, please reach out to the Child Care System support team at ccss@hamilton.ca.
Thank you!!
Umbrella Family
