Child Care Providers Face Housing Challenges

Fact sheet March 7, 2023

For most Americans, housing is a large part of monthly expenses. Unstable housing can cause stress and disruption. On the other hand, homeownership is a primary wealth building strategy for many Americans and creates stability for families.

In our surveys, we explore the well-being not just of families with small children, but also of the child care workforce that supports American society and its economy. This fact sheet outlines our findings about child care providers, their goals for homeownership, and barriers to affordable housing.
