#POLICY NEWS: Our organization strongly endorses the Child Care is Infrastructure Act and applauds Rep. Katherine Clark's leadership on improving our nation's #childcare system (learn more @ https://lnkd.in/gqXxBfiA). Child care is fundamental to our economy and requires investment in the facilities and providers central to the ECE ecosystem. By investing in high-quality, accessible child care, this bill supports working parents and helps ensure that every child gets a strong start in life. As a #CDFI with a 25-year track record of investing over half a billion dollars in the ECE sector to create or better 405,000 child care spaces, LIIF is eager to work to ensure these funds reach the providers and families that need them most. This is a groundbreaking bill that will improve the health, safety and quality of early care and education environments.
Happy 30th anniversary, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund)! With the historic passage of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994, the foundation was laid for the creation of the CDFI Fund. Since then, the CDFI Fund and its programs have been a powerful force for change, driving economic opportunity in historically excluded communities. Through access to flexible capital, culturally responsive technical assistance and robust financial services, CDFIs, such as LIIF, have invested billions into affordable housing, early care and education, community facilities, small businesses and more.

Kim was joined on the panel by: >Moderator Carmen Panacopoulos, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston >Liz Fraser, LISC (photo, left) >Kirby Burkholder, IFF (CDFI) (photo, right) Kim offered insights on LIIF's #childcare facility-funding models across the nation that can be replicated in other regions. Additionally, she spoke to the need for the creation of a federal child care facilities fund offering capital via a combination of grants and low-interest loans, coupled with culturally responsive technical assistance, to foster financial stability and greater equity for #childcareproviders.

As we celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, LIIF honors the rich cultural contributions of Latino communities -- and we remain committed to addressing the housing challenges these communities face. Issues include potential overcrowding due to multigenerational living, limited access to #affordablehousing and older housing stock that can impact long-term health. LIIF continues to work toward solutions that promote equitable access to safe, affordable homes.

PITTSBURGH GLASS CENTER (PGC) RIBBON CUTTING TODAY! They may call it “Steel City,” but our community facilities #Lending team is taking a shine to glassmaking in Pittsburgh. Our #CDFI is excited about our first loan in this city -- and our first to an arts programming space anywhere in the nation. LIIF’s total commitment was 5.2million,splitbetweena5.2 million, split between a 5.2million,splitbetweena3 million capital campaign bridge loan and a 2.2millionmini−permloan,insupportofa2.2 million mini-perm loan, in support of a 2.2millionmini−permloan,insupportofa12.6 million New Markets Tax Credit (#NMTC) project. The result? This community linchpin, located on an arts corridor, has now expanded from 16,000 square feet to 27,000 to meet increased demand. PGC is located on bustling Penn Avenue at the edge of Garfield, a predominantly Black neighborhood in the East End. Since 2016, PGC has offered full scholarships for BIPOC community members, with 100 awarded. With increased space, there are now plans that include expanding their existing apprentice program, which provides free artist housing, training, stipends and benefits.

Our ECE Vice President, Advisory and State Policy Shelly Masur, MPH, EdD (photo, left, flanked by colleague Pam Berkowitz) was honored to co-present with YMCA of San Diego County at yesterday's San Diego Housing Federation Conference. She spoke to the critical need of building child-friendly infrastructure and cities. California's Secretary of Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency Tomiquia Moss (photo, bottom right) also offered insights. The Secretary's five key recommendations about increasing housing supply, which Shelly believes also apply to #childcare: 1. We have to believe it’s possible to solve the housing (and child care) emergency. 2. We need more housing (and child care). 3. Housing (and child care) justice is racial justice. 4. Concurrent investments across multiple streams of funding are needed. 5. Political will and courage is needed.
