CARING FOR PARENTS
The Rise of Multigenerational Housing: Lending Trends and Opportunity Amid the whirlwind of economic forces impacting the housing market, one trend stands out. Multigenerational housing, once a rarity, is now becoming commonplace and reshaping not just how we live, but also how we lend and borrow. There are dozens of scenarios that could cause families to choose multigenerational housing. Imagine a young couple, burdened by student loan debt, and discouraged by the competitive housing market. New parents struggling with the high cost of childcare could decide to live with relatives to make ends meet. Even middle-aged couples often welcome their aging parents into their homes and must renovate their space to accommodate their changing needs. These are the realities of multigenerational homes, a trend driven by economic pressures, demographic shifts, and evolving social norms. |

KinderCare Learning Companies (NYSE: KLC) has released its sixth annual Confidence Index, revealing significant insights about the intersection of child care and workplace dynamics. The 2025 survey, conducted with The Harris Poll, shows that 70% of parents believe the gender pay gap stems from insufficient child care support.
Key findings include:
76% believe employers should offset child care costs
59% prefer child care subsidies over raises (10% increase from 2024)
54% worry about future cuts to child care benefits
43% of parents prioritize child care benefits, while only 33% of CHROs share this view
The study, surveying 2,504 parents with children under 12, also revealed that 53% of parents fear career setbacks due to parenting responsibilities. Additionally, 45% of parents hope for federally supported universal child care in their children's future. The survey highlights growing concerns about return-to-office mandates, with nearly two-thirds of parents reporting impacts on their child care needs.
