Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio
11 Grants from 1996 - 2024
Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio (CLUES) will develop and test a new model of shared space, accessible training and supports for childcare microbusinesses to increase the number of licensed Latina providers in Minnesota. The new Eastside Business Hub will include an incubator to help launch Latina-owned childcare businesses and improve the likelihood of their long-term success. The incubator will house several childcare microbusinesses and provide rental subsidies and supports that enable providers to establish stronger businesses. This ensures the continued growth and expansion of high-quality childcare businesses as owners move into other locations and new businesses move into the incubator. CLUES will also provide culturally relevant training, build networks for childcare providers in greater Minnesota, and advocate for policy changes to address many of the challenges currently faced by Latina childcare providers.
