Child Care Homes & Facilities in a Mixed-Delivery System
San Diego County's supply of quality child care is not enough to meet the needs of families
A key component of child care supply is space: the presence of appropriate and abundant facilities to host child care.
Space can come in many forms: family child care homes, child care centers, municipal or school facilities, and more.
However, in a region as expensive as San Diego–with high rental costs and limited housing and retail space–facilities are hard to come by.
We need to get creative.
Co-location of Child Care and Affordable Housing
The co-location of child care within affordable housing provides a vital service for residents and the surrounding community, as well as reliable tenants. Co-location solutions can be diverse to fit the diverse needs of each community, examples include a child care center in retail space or an in-unit family child care provider.
