The Low Income Investment Fund and ECONorthwest submitted this report to the Oregon Joint Committee on Ways and Means as a part of a larger project aimed at increasing the supply of child care in Oregon. This report details the benefits of colocating early care and education facilities with affordable housing as a means of utilizing both housing and child care facilities funding. Multiple case studies are presented to show different types of co-located arrangements and facilities designs. Finally, the report offers policy recommendations to secure additional funding and encourage partnerships between housing developers and child care operators.
