8 The data sources include information submitted at the time of application by families enrolled in the program that was updated over time (e.g., when a child changes provider), and ACCM providers data submitted by the ELRC as of February 2025. Given that families’ data are updated regularly, we can only provide a description of the program as of December 2024 and cannot describe changes over time.
