The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded The Health Federation of Philadelphia a $1,455,284 Early Head Start project grant (CFDA 93.600) to provide comprehensive early childhood education and family support services. The 5-year grant, which began on December 1, 2024, will enable The Health Federation to deliver educational, health, nutritional, and social services designed to enhance the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children in Pennsylvania prior to their entry into kindergarten. The project aims to promote school readiness and support underserved communities. As a non-profit organization, The Health Federation has previously received federal grants to address public health priorities such as diabetes prevention, HIV/AIDS education, and emergency response, often through partnerships with local health departments, community health centers, universities, and health systems.
