New Orleans has been named as one of six winning cities in this year’s JPMorgan Chase AdvancingCities Challenge - a $500 million five-year initiative that makes large scale investments in cities where deeper investments are needed to drive inclusive growth. Led by Beloved Community, a collaborative of twelve organizations will receive $5 million over three years to address caregiving as a barrier to Black & Latinx women's wealth creation.
Together, the collaborative has developed NoLa CARES (Creating Access, Resources and Equity for Success). The project seeks to align policy and practice across sectors so Black & Latinx mothers working in caregiving professions are valued and build wealth as the entrepreneurs, workforce, and beneficiaries of high-quality employer-supported child care.
Two key interventions will be implemented: 1) introducing child care as a workplace benefit and 2) providing capital and/or business & workforce training to support Black & Latinx women who provide childcare for Black & Latinx families.
