About this resource

The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support to families who are employed, enrolled in school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) by helping cover child care costs, including registration fees.

Intake Procedure: Applications can be submitted online, via phone, or in person at a nearby ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.

Fees: As a subsidy program, ERDC requires many families to contribute to child care expenses through a copayment, which varies based on family size and income.
