伊利诺伊州与其他国家一道挑战特朗普冻结儿童保育基金的做法,冒着供应商关闭的风险,并减少人们获得负担得起的护理的机会。 Illinois joins other states in challenging Trump's freeze on child care funds, risking provider closures and reduced access to affordable care.

伊利诺伊州儿童保育提供者面临不确定性,因为州与另外五个民主党领导的州一起挑战特朗普政府冻结联邦儿童保育资金的做法。 Illinois child care providers are facing uncertainty after the state joined five other Democratic-led states in challenging the Trump administration’s freeze on federal child care funding. 供应商警告说,停止供应威胁到他们保持开放的能力,有可能普遍关闭,减少工作家庭获得负担得起的护理的机会。 Providers warn the halt threatens their ability to stay open, risking widespread closures and reduced access to affordable care for working families. 冻结造成财政不稳定,难以支付费用和留住工作人员,而且没有恢复筹资的明确时间表。 The freeze has created financial instability, making it difficult to cover costs and retain staff, with no clear timeline for funding restoration. 倡导者强调,可靠的儿童保育对劳动力参与至关重要,特别是在低收入和基本工人中,并敦促迅速采取联邦行动,防止该部门遭受长期损害。 Advocates stress that reliable child care is essential for workforce participation, especially among low-income and essential workers, and urge swift federal action to prevent long-term damage to the sector.
