| Overview
|
| The Urban College of Boston intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to launch the Child Care Economic Opportunity (CCEO) project, a model of microenterprise development focused on supporting new and existing family childcare providers in Latino communities in Boston and Lawrence, Massachusetts. In these large and economically disadvantaged communities, rates of poverty are extremely high, academic achievement is low, there is limited access to safe affordable housing, and many basic resources—such as quality childcare—are lacking. The unique microenterprise character of family childcare allows the CCEO project to leverage broad potential impacts in all of these areas.
