First Five Riverside County funds Build Up Riverside County (BURC), an initiative of the Low Income Investment Fund. The purpose of Build Up Riverside County is to increase access to, and improve the quality of, child care facilities throughout Riverside County. Cities and the County are vital partners to this work.
As part of this initiative, BURC launched the Build Up Riverside County Child Care Land Use Study in the Fall of 2023 to understand local land use policies and planning procedures related to child care centers and family child care homes in Riverside County. The responses from each city have been compiled into individual city reports with the goal of helping cities within our county gain insights into how their existing land use and planning policies contribute to the expansion of child care services. Additionally, the reports are intended to guide cities on which policies can be modified to enhance the accessibility of child care.
