What this bill would do

The Build Housing with Care Act of 2025 seeks to establish a grant program to address access to affordable housing and child care. This program aims to promote the co-location of housing and child care providers. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will award competitive grants to eligible entities for various stages of facility development, including design, construction, and renovation. Priority is given to projects in child care deserts, low-income communities, or rural areas. Additionally, the bill mandates a GAO study to examine child care availability and affordability for public housing residents.
