(BuildUp Oregon)
Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), in partnership with BuildUp Oregon (BUO), has committed $7.4 million in grants and loans to nine innovative projects that co-locate early care and education (ECE) with affordable housing developments across the state.
Andrea Bell, Executive Director of OHCS joins the Exchange to discuss the projects and their expected impact. Also joining the conversation is Geoffrey Lowry, Program Director for Oregon Child Development Coalition in Ashland, and Krista Palmer, Executive Director of Sunstone Housing Collaborative.
These projects, which leverage an additional $20 million of public and private investment, will strengthen communities by simultaneously increasing access to affordable housing and opportunities for quality early care and education, serving families where they live and dream.
