Grants to Build Affordable Housing Co-located with Child Care Services.

This law establishes a federal grant program to tackle the dual crises of affordable housing and child care access. It funds the construction, renovation, or preservation of facilities that integrate housing with licensed child care providers, making essential services more accessible to families. Priority is given to projects in underserved areas, known as "child care deserts," and those serving very low-income families.
Key points
Creation of a competitive grant program (up to $10 million per project) to fund facilities combining housing and on-site or nearby child care.
$100 million authorized annually (FY 2024-2029) to support these co-location projects nationwide, increasing housing and care options.
Priority for projects located in rural areas, low-income communities, or areas severely lacking licensed child care options.
Requires a federal study on child care availability and affordability specifically for residents of public housing.
