Build Housing with Care Act of 2025

This bill establishes a federal grant program to fund the co-location of affordable housing and licensed child care facilities, primarily benefiting low-income families in areas with insufficient child care access ("child care deserts"). It provides up to $10 million per grant to eligible entities (like housing developers, community organizations, or tribal entities) for designing, building, or retrofitting facilities where housing residents can access on-site or nearby child care. Priority is given to projects in low-income, rural, or underserved communities that serve very low-income families or partner with child care providers certified for federal assistance. The program requires grantees to avoid evicting residents, engage housing residents in planning, and use funds strictly for facility-related activities, with annual reporting on outcomes like child care slots created and resident demographics.
