North Coast CARE Makes Childcare More Affordable. North Coast CARE Makes Childcare More Affordable. A transformative public-private partnership administered by the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce through a grant from the Ohio Department of Children and Youth should make childcare a little more affordable for parents of at least 100 children in 2026.
It should also help those parents stay at work while their children are cared for in safe, nurturing environments. The program is called North Coast CARE (an acronym that stands for Childcare Access for Retention and Employment). It matches an employer’s contribution of $200 per month with state matching funds for a total benefit of $400 per child per month.
“Early in 2025, we did a survey with our local employers, chamber members, to see who might be interested in participating in the program,” says Tony L. Gallo, former president and CEO of the Lorain County Chamber, who stepped down from his post earlier this month. “The state is dictating the guidelines in terms of the grant funding.
” Gallo coordinated the efforts for the implementation of North Coast CARE, which will be launched in October 2026. Due to grant funding, the program is capped at 100 children at any time, with enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis. “It’s also supposed to sunset on December 31, 2026, but we’re hoping the program will be so well received that it gets an extension,” adds Gallo.
“We want to continue working with employers to help fill available positions while helping their employees with childcare beyond the end of 2026. ” Gallo has led the Chamber for more than 12 years and worked at the Chamber as director of business development for many years before that. Nico Samaniego is the new president and CEO of the Lorain County Chamber.
“I really have to commend our county leaders for getting this program up and running in Lorain County,” says Samaniego. “This program addresses a very significant challenge that our workforce is facing. Childcare costs are often a barrier to people getting back into the workforce.
” Naturally, Lorain County childcare providers also are in full support of the program. “The grant works by creating a three-way partnership,” explains David Smith, executive director at Horizon Education Centers, a childcare provider with six locations in Lorain County.
“The Chamber acts as the grantee passing through state funds that match an employer’s contributions, with the parents providing the remaining funds for childcare tuition. ” And childcare costs can often run as high as $1,200 per month per child or more.
“While there are a lot of state programs to assist with childcare, the income requirements to qualify for the programs are quite low, so many working-class families don’t qualify for assistance,” Smith adds. “One in three working parents in our state have either reduced their hours or dropped out of the workforce altogether in order to deal with the cost of childcare.
” Obviously, it’s much better for Lorain County’s economy and local businesses if parents can stay in the workforce. It also offers participating businesses a nice edge in terms of employee recruitment and retention. “We also have to look at this program in terms of workforce development,” says Gallo.
“Not only are we keeping parents in their careers, but we are also making sure our children have access to preschool and are reading early. Now we just have to show the state how this program is a benefit to our local employers so they will extend the program after the end of 2026. ” This, of course, falls on the shoulders of the incoming president and CEO of the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce.
“This program might not be a magic key,” Samaniego says, “but it is a critical piece in solving at least one of the barriers that prevent people from returning to work. ” For more information regarding North Coast CARE, go to loraincountychamber. com/care

Application instructions are found in Section D. Application and Submission Information. Applications will be reviewed and evaluated as they are received and may be submitted at any time up until the closing date of this announcement. The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units network is a national consortium of Federal agencies, tribes, academic institutions, state and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations, and other partners working together to support informed public trust resource stewardship. The CESU network includes 390 non-Federal partners and 15 Federal Agencies in seventeen (17) CESUs representing biogeographic regions encompassing all 50 states and U.S. territories. The CESU network is well positioned as a platform to support research, technical assistance, education and capacity building that is responsive to long-standing and contemporary science and resource management priorities. The seventeen (17) CESUs bring together scientists, resource managers, students, and other conservation professionals, drawing upon expertise from across the biological, physical, social, cultural, and engineering disciplines (from Anthropology to Zoology) to conduct collaborative and interdisciplinary applied projects that address natural and cultural heritage resource issues at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context. Each CESU is structured as a working collaborative with participation from numerous Federal and non-Federal institutional partners. CESUs are based at host universities and focused on a particular biogeographic region of the country. The NPS is required under “Research Mandate” 54 USC 100702 to ensure the management of NPS units are “enhanced by the availability and utilization of a broad program of the highest quality science and information.” To help answer this mandate, the NPS works cooperatively with approved CESU cooperators. Annually the NPS obligates between $30M and $40M in CESU cooperative agreements agency wide. Individual projects are up to five (5) years in duration with an average of approximately $60,000 per agreement. The NPS plans to create Master Cooperative Agreements with CESU partners to carry out the CFDA program 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System. The NPS is announcing the intent to solicit proposals from organizations within the CESU network. The objectives of the CESU program are: a.

Create and maintain effective partnerships among the Federal agencies and universities to share resources and expertise. d. Take full advantage of university resources while benefiting faculty and students. e. Encourage professional development of current and future Federal scientists, resource managers, and environmental leaders. f. Manage Federal resources effectively.

In January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
