Gov. Kotek announced that $5 million from the Oregon CHIPS Act will be allocated to the new Oregon CHIPS Child Care Fund created by House Bill 4098, bringing the total starting capacity of the fund to $7.5 million

Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the Oregon CHIPS Child Care Fund directs Business Oregon to work with the Bureau of Labor and Industries to build off of the agency’s existing successful Apprenticeship-Related Child Care program to help fund child care for workers in the semiconductor supply chain.
House Bill 4098 also directs funding to the existing Business Oregon Child Care Infrastructure Program to help support critical child care investments in regions where CHIPS Act investments are being made.
Governor Kotek reportedly said:
“Every family should have access to affordable, quality child care options when they need them.
With the Oregon CHIPS Child Care Fund, Oregon is taking up the call from the Biden-Harris Administration to set a plan in place to address child care supply and affordability for apprentices and journey workers in the semiconductor supply chain.
This initial investment expedites the opportunity to support working families in Oregon.”
