Health and Human Services Department, Children and Families Administration
The Administration on Children, Youth and Families announces approximately $40 million in financial assistance to be competitively awarded to public and private non-profit and for-profit entities-- including Early Head Start and Head Start grantees--to provide child and family development services for low-income families with children under age three and pregnant women. Early Head Start programs provide early, continuous, intensive and comprehensive child development and family support services on a year-round basis to low-income families. The purpose of the Early Head Start program is to enhance children's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development; to support parents' efforts to fulfill their parental roles; and to help parents move toward self-sufficiency. The funds available will be competitively awarded to eligible applicants to operate Early Head Start programs. Grants will be awarded to establish or expand Early Head Start programs. Current Early Head Start grantees may apply to expand the number of children they enroll within the areas they currently serve or to initiate services in other local areas that are not currently being served. Other applicants may not apply to operate programs in the areas that are already served by current Early Head Start grantees, but may apply to establish an Early Head Start program in an area which is currently unserved (see Appendix A for the list of geographic areas currently being served and unavailable for new grantees).
