| Overview
|
| Sul Ross State University (SRSU) will use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to construct, develop programming for, and pilot test the operation of the Sul Ross Childcare and Family Support Center. The center, which will be built a block from SRSU’s main campus on one-third of an acre of university-contributed land, will provide day- and afterschool care for 60 children who range in ages 1 month to 10 years old each week that SRSU is in operation. At least 75 percent of parents with children in center care will be low income; the remainder will be moderate income. The center will also target SRSU student parents for whom the lack of childcare represents a most significant barrier to success in post-secondary education. In addition to providing childcare services, the center will include a parent resource center containing information on parenting skills and fair housing options, and center staff will refer parents needing further counseling or fair housing assistance to area professionals providing these services. Finally, the center will provide practical and observation experience for students in SRSU’s Early Childhood Education, Psychology, Fine Arts, Physical Education, and Nursing programs.
