The $13,682,701 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) will support the Municipality of Yabucoa in Puerto Rico to provide comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutritional, and social services to low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. The five-year grant, with an award date of July 1, 2024 and ultimate completion date of June 30, 2029, will enable the Municipality to operate Head Start and Early Head Start programs that promote school readiness by enhancing the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds prior to their entry into kindergarten. The Municipality of Yabucoa has previously received federal grant funding as both a prime and sub-awardee to deliver a range of public services, including transit operations, community policing, emergency management, and facility improvements.
