Child Care and Housing Linkage Research Study: Final Report (PDF)
By Brion and Associates , Ed.
June
2003
Summary: This study examined ways to increase the provision of child care in San Mateo County, California by linking child care both to residential development and to local policies that affect residential land use. The study represents the first phase of a public effort to develop strategies to deal with child care needs. A matrix presents the full list of policy recommendations. The study also presents an analysis of the relationships between development and growth in each city and the need for child care. This is one of the first efforts to systematically link growth projections to the need for new child care facilities. Six case studies of housing projects with child care are profiled; 4 of these are affordable housing projects and 2 are market rate projects. It is recommended that all cities should include some type of supportive child care policies in their planning documents. Combining requirements, such as impact fees with incentives such as density bonuses, can be a more effective and acceptable policy approach when dealing with new development. All cities should review existing zoning and their permit process for barriers to the development of child care facilities.
