Initially, the scope of work included a traditional “needs assessment” with stakeholder engagement, identifying Sonoma county assets and needs, and creating a strategic plan to inform the County’s direction. Through conversations with key stakeholders, however, community members expressed a desire for a different approach. Stakeholders wanted an action-oriented approach that could address the community-wide sense of urgency to quickly mitigate losses from the fires. Based on this feedback, the project pivoted its focus to three key deliverables: Engage elected officials and the Santa Rosa Planning Department to incentivize and promote the co-location of child care facilities within affordable housing;  Build a coalition of local leaders, affordable housing developers, and city officials to plan, review, and prioritize child care in affordable housing; Provide capacity building and a “how to guide” and resources for building child care in affordable housing in Sonoma County. This report summarizes a 12-month planning process to develop a high[1]level master plan to re-envision child care in Sonoma County and develop a “road map” for other California counties to consider.
