New Funds Will Improve Head Start and Early Head Start Programs
The Office of Head Start wishes to inform Head Start programs of two pieces of information that we believe will be of interest to you. The first is a news release announcing how the $2.1 billion in funds, made available to Head Start under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), will be used. To read this news release, please visit the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website.
In addition, synopses of both the Head Start expansion and the Early Head Start expansion announcements were posted yesterday on grants.gov. If you are interested in reading the synopses, please visit the grants.gov website, select "new opportunities this week," sort by agency, and both synopses (HHS-2009-ACF-OHS-SH-0087 and HHS-2009-ACF-OHS-SH-0089) will be available to you.
