White House Unveils Plan to Strengthen Military Families
Thu, 09/30/2021 - 12:51
A new White House report sets several Biden administration priorities that provide support to military families.
Among the ideas: Making the federal government the employer of choice for military spouses; increasing economic opportunities and reducing job losses related to permanent change-of-station moves; finding innovative solutions for increasing child care availability, improving educational and economic opportunities for military and veteran families; and improving education for the children of service members.
The 32-page report focuses on well-known challenges facing military families that have proven difficult to resolve over decades of trying. There are many initiatives already underway to expand child care, reduce the strain of moves and improve job opportunities for military spouses. Fixing these issues has proven complicated because solutions often require help from beyond the reach of DoD programs.
