The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of New York City’s children and families by providing child welfare, juvenile justice, and early care services. In child welfare, ACS contracts with private nonprofit organizations to support and stabilize families at risk of a crisis through preventive services and provides foster care services for children not able to safely remain at home. Each year, the agency’s Division of Child Protection responds to more than 50,000 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. In juvenile justice, ACS manages and funds services including detention and placement, intensive community-based alternatives for youth, and support services for families. ACS is also a key part of NYCs early childhood and education continuum, providing childcare assistance to thousands of child welfare involved and low-income children so they can access safe, affordable, quality care.
The Voucher Enrollment Unit (VEU) provides childcare information, updates and assistance to support provider and program enrollment. The main task of VEU is to issue and enroll childcare vouchers to low-income families as well as to enroll, update and maintain providers and programs who are linked to these vouchers. VEU also collaborates with other entities such as ACS Child Care Eligibility to confirm eligibility status of childcare cases and Human Resources Administration (HRA) Job Center Staff to enroll providers/programs who are caring for TANF children into the Automated Child Care Information System (ACCIS). VEU also collaborates with ACS Special Referral Unit (SRU) who refers clients with child welfare cases to receive childcare vouchers. In addition, the unit also completes and maintains the City Council Special Child Care Funding (SCCF) enrollment for eligible families who are currently on the CFWB Voucher Wait List.
