During and after the pandemic federal dollars flowed into Virginia to help support childcare services.

But that federal money is about to run out leaving Virginia’s legislature to figure out how or if to fill the financial hole.

Brad Kutner has more from Richmond. 

Virginians who use temporary public financial support programs are not leaving those programs according to a new report from the state’s bipartisan research commission.

Elected officials and the report itself blame companies and the system, not those receiving benefits, for the flaws.
