LIIF recently joined @BuildUpCA, Assemblymember @AsmGailPellerin & others to see a newly built child care center at Tamien Station in San Jose. This transit-oriented development partnered with @SJBChildDevCtr to address both child care & housing shortages.
It’s almost #CEHday! How will you celebrate this week? We’re excited to raise the visibility of children’s health issues, celebrate successes in the field, & discuss how high quality #ECEfacilities can support children's health. cehday.org
Yesterday Governor Newsom signed AB 752! 🎉 Removing barriers to constructing co-located #childcare centers will help communities address supply shortages of both #housing and child care while centering the needs of #children and #families. Thank you to all who supported!
For the second year in a row, Build Up and @Liifund are excited to participate as partner organizations in @CEHN's Children's Environmental Health Day! Save the date now-October 9th!- and get ready to drive action to #ProtectKidsHealth! #CEHday cehday.org
AB 752 is on it's way to the Governor's desk! Thank you so much to all the individuals and organizations that supported us along the way and for championing co-located child care! Stay tuned for more good news 🛝🌳🏢🏘️ Read the bill here: legiscan.com/CA/text/AB752/…
Yesterday we presented at #InnovationSummit2025 hosted by @CCRC4KIDS & Connecting California Families in Asilomar! In our session, "Building Relationships & Building Child Care," we walked through the village of people involved in building the supply of child care.
Yesterday our bill AB 752 passed through the Senate Local Gov committee 7-0! Thank you to Asm. Farias for your continued support and a special thank you to @elmermmartinez for your testimony! Read more about AB 752 here: calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_20252…
Yesterday we joined hundreds of @seiucalifornia and Child Care Providers United members to rally in support of a #faircontract for family child care providers!! High quality ECE requires BOTH well supported human infrastructure AND safe and beautiful physical infrastructure!
This is especially timely with the announcement of the FCC Capital Access Initiative that will provide loans and technical assistance to licensed in-home providers. Read more here: liifund.org/2025/05/07/lii…
