D.C. budget lauded by children's advocates
The D.C. Council restored millions of dollars for children's programs, a move praised by advocates.
About $1 million went toward the city's Year Round Youth Employment Program; $3.5 million went to funding child care subsidies; $2 million was given to subsidies for grandparent caregivers. Those three programs were among the youth-related cuts made by Mayor Adrian Fenty in an attempt to close a $550 million gap in the city's $5 billion budget.
