## Summary

It would create a HUD competitive grant program to support design, planning, construction, long-term leasing, retrofits, and preservation of co-location facilities. - Families: Would increase access to child care located at or near housing in child care deserts, low-income neighborhoods, and rural areas so families can find care closer to home. - Child care providers: Grants require providers eligible for the Child Care and Development Block Grant or a committed partnership within one year, plus a business plan, licensing materials, and evidence of funding pipelines. - Housing developers and residents: Public housing agencies, nonprofits, Tribally designated housing entities, and developers could use grants to create co-located facilities, and must certify the grant will not lead to resident evictions. Grants are capped at $10.0 million per eligible entity. - Community Development Financial Institutions and partners: CDFIs can receive funds to capitalize loans and projects get priority for demonstrated CDFI partnerships or Head Start participation. - HUD support and oversight: HUD must provide technical assistance, publish best practices, and report annually to Congress on grants awarded, child care slots created or preserved, resident use, staffing, and project types. - GAO study on public housing: Requires a Government Accountability Office report within 12 months assessing child care access for public housing residents, use of federal funds, legal barriers, economic impacts, and recommendations. *This bill would authorize $100 million per year from 2025 through 2030 to carry out the program.*
