NC Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Program Application
Thank you for your interest in the NC Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Program. We support families who work and live in North Carolina and need access to affordable, licensed Child Care. The Tri-Share program is designed to help working families with household incomes between 185%-300% of the Federal Poverty Level who are not eligible for other subsidized childcare programs.
If families are ineligible because they are below the 185% income and they are unable to access child care because their county has a waitlist, then NCPC can offer them coverage. Employers and the state partner together to help make quality childcare affordable for your family.
Participation
Once a family is approved to participate in NC Tri-Share, a family is certified to receive NC Tri-Share funding.
Participation may be renewed for another year contingent upon State Funding availability. If changes are reported (such as increase in income, updated employment, etc.) recertification may be necessary.
