BRINGING IT HOME PROJECT
An Innovation in Childcare
What is it?

How it works?
The Bringing It Home Project (BIHP) is a regional initiative meant to improve childcare accessibility by creating home-based childcare providers in the Monadnock Region. By empowering entrepreneurs, the program aims to create 10 new home-based providers by 2025, adding an additional 60 – 120 childcare slots in the region.

Through a collaboration among local agencies, aspiring home-based childcare providers are solicited and carefully vetted. They then receive free licensure consultation, business planning services, childcare provider training, and a grant that will pay for housing improvements needed for licensure.

The last piece needed to make the Bringing It Home Project a reality is funding for housing rehabilitation. MEDC is applying for funding to provide forgivable loans to providers to expand childcare access. Funds will then be used to make home improvements necessary to gain licensure as a home-based childcare provider. If the proposal is successful, the program could launch in late 2023.
but we need your help!!
The BIHP team is looking for businesses interested in purchasing state tax credits. The grant comes in the form of tax credit equity, which means that businesses would need to purchase state tax credits before money for the program is available. Businesses can indicate interest in purchasing Community Development Investment Program (CDIP) tax credits in writing to the BIHP team. This can be on official letterhead or in an email to the BIHP team.
Purchasing CDIP tax credits also gives businesses the ability to have a say in where their tax dollars go. Instead of paying state business taxes as normal, they can go towards improving childcare access in our region.
By indicating interest in purchasing tax credits, you are helping bring these critical resources to our region.
CDIP tax credit contribution breakdown
· 75% goes towards NH Business Profits, Business Enterprise, or Insurance Premium Tax, for up to five years.

· In total, approximately 75% - 90% of contributions can be claimed as tax credits and deductions.
