Many rural residents experience difficulties in attaining a high-quality education. Enterprise’s partners are helping rural communities respond to these challenges.

Furthering our Home and Hope goals beyond Washington, Enterprise is having conversations to bring together affordable housing providers and early learning providers, along with government and philanthropic organizations, in Oregon.

Rethinking the way we develop early childhood learning centers requires creative partnerships and new flexible funding sources.

In high-pressure real estate markets such as Seattle and King County, early learning facilities are often squeezed out, not only exacerbating the crisis, but also causing disruption to what should be a stabilizing presence in the lives of families and for our neighborhoods.

How can early learning centers and housing be combined into a single project? Financing can be complicated and daunting, but Enterprise experts offer guidance to both the affordable housing and early learning sectors as they expand their ability to develop these multi-use buildings to benefit their communities.

Home & Hope is a program to facilitate the development of affordable housing and early childhood education centers on underutilized, tax-exempt sites owned by public agencies and nonprofits in King County, Washington. We are bringing together a working coalition of early childhood educators, housing providers, elected officials, philanthropic organizations and public stakeholders to help create more homes like that of Xochitl Rojas.
