There are some CDCs in the pipeline for construction, funded in previous years, such as Aliamanu Military Reservation and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; Fort Wainwright, Alaska; and Naval Base Kitsap, Washington. The services say they are working on plans for more child care centers in future budget requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fiscal 2022 budget request also includes an increase of about $16 million to fund roughly 2,000 more spaces in the services\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2021\/06\/16\/military-will-pay-toward-in-home-child-care-for-some-families-in-pilot-program\/\" target=\"_blank\">community-based child care fee assistance programs<\/a>, primarily in the Army and Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child care funding is part of a larger $280 billion budget plan for military construction and Veterans Affairs spending. It also includes $1.4 billion for family housing projects (equal to what the White House requested for fiscal 2022) with $116.2 million set aside specifically for<b> <\/b>family housing support and management, including funding of government personnel for oversight to address issues such as mold, vermin, and lead in military housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly $850 million would be set aside for Guard and Reserve facilities nationwide, $179 million above what the administration requested.
