Overview

Best Starts’ Capital Program will provide contracts for building repairs, renovations and new construction or expansion to improve access to high quality programs and services for low-income children, young people, and families, with a priority for those serving Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. In addition, rural areas and or low-income areas with lack of access will be prioritized. The program will focus on equitable community-driven development to ensure projects are aligned with and serve communities’ needs.

*Priority 3:* Expand Child Care and Early Learning Facilities to increase capacity for multipurpose uses and complement the Early Learning Facilities funding under the PSTAA Implementation Plan.
