The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has reorganized to establish the Office of Child Care (OCC). The new OCC replaces the Child Care Bureau and will administer the Child Care and Development Fund, which provides child care subsidies to low-income families. The OCC will focus on improving the quality of child care and early childhood programs, as well as increasing child care options for parents.
