Journals of Blacks in Higher Education Highlighted Joint Center’s CCAMPIS Research Brief

The Journals of Blacks in Higher Education highlighted the Joint Center’s issue brief, Black Student Parents’ Access to Affordable Child Care Support at Community Colleges.  The brief examines the availability of the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program at community colleges with an enrollment of at least 40 percent Black students and offers legislative proposals for congressional reauthorization and adequate appropriations for this critical child care program.

From the article: “The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program is a federal grant designed to support student parents with child care access and expenses. As Black college students are more likely to be parents than their peers of other races, the CCAMPIS program is critical to their academic success. A new report from the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies has examined the federal grant’s impact on Black student parents and provided suggestions to increase its effectiveness.”
