ABCD Development Assistance
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 consisting of four sequential modules designed specifically for housing developers who are considering child care operators as development partners and tenants in their projects. Participants will leave the training with a solid understanding of child care operations as well as the resources and tools necessary for co-locating child care in their developments.
Through lively discussion and hands-on practice, the training institute addresses key development issues in a series of sequential, half-day sessions that are best experienced in order. These are:
- Module One: Assessing the Demand for Child Care
How do you know if child care is really needed in a particular community? Learn how to find the best local resources for this kind of information and how to integrate assessment into your planning process using a workbook specially designed for use in the field by community developers. - Module Two: Choosing the Best Child Care Partner
Finding the right fit requires a thorough understanding of child care operations. Using actual RFQs and proposals, learn how to determine who makes an appropriate partner, if this provider is ready to co-locate, and what terms to consider for a lease or MOU to help maintain a successful ongoing relationship. - Module Three: Why Architecture Matters
High quality spaces promote high quality care. From lighting to entrance placement, child care facilities benefit enormously from good design. Review site plans and a series of photos that illustrate the good and the bad to learn how to design the best space for both child care and housing. - Module Four: Putting the Deal Together--Making
Child Care Work for Your Agency
In this final session, analyze the benefits and drawbacks of available financial resources and bring all of your learning together to create a useable plan for considering child care in future developments.
All housing developers are welcome to participate. The Institute is offered throughout California and in New York City as part of the Low Income Investment Fund's New York Child Care Seed Fund. Trainings are co-sponsored by affordable housing association partners.
