ABCD Development Assistance
ABCD Development Assistance increases quality child care spaces in low income communities by building partnerships with community developers to support the development of child care facilities and inclusion of child care within health, faith-based, education and housing developments.
Why Include Child Care?
Comprehensive community development projects that integrate child care facilities benefit both developers and communities by:
- Creating opportunities to access affordable financing for child care facility development
- Attracting diverse funders and leveraging traditional housing and community financing resources
- Supporting tenants, promoting lower vacancy rates and improved cash flow in affordable housing and mixed use developments
A Comprehensive Approach to Comprehensive Development
Development Assistance offers three important tools to support these partnerships between the child care and community development communities:
- The Developer
Peer Support Network
The Support Network is a bimonthly meeting in which developers involved with child care facilities can share experiences, challenges and successes. - Affordable Housing
and Child Care: The Nuts and Bolts of Successful Development
Affordable Housing and Child Care: The Nuts and Bolts of Successful Development is a training institute designed for developers that addresses key issues in child care facility development. - Developer
How-To Resources
Resources created by and for developers.
Partners in Innovation
