Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-01-23

Bill 119 HR 646, also known as the "Housing and Child Care Co-Location Grant Program Act," aims to address the challenges faced by many families in accessing affordable housing and child care. The bill proposes the establishment of a grant program that would facilitate the co-location of housing and child care facilities, making it easier for families to access both essential services in one location. The primary goal of the grant program is to alleviate the burden on families who struggle to find affordable housing and quality child care options. By co-locating these services, families can save time and money while also ensuring that their children are in a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to addressing the housing and child care crises, the bill also aims to promote economic stability and opportunity for families. By providing grants to support the co-location of housing and child care facilities, the bill seeks to create more job opportunities in the child care sector and improve access to affordable housing for low-income families. Overall, Bill 119 HR 646 is a proactive measure to address the pressing issues of affordable housing and child care access in the United States. By promoting the co-location of these essential services, the bill aims to improve the quality of life for families and support economic growth and stability in communities across the country.
