Federal Grant Award Summary

Westmoreland Human Opportunities, Inc. received a $5.08 million Project Grant from the Office of Head Start (Administration for Children and Families) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The award funds comprehensive early childhood education and family support services designed to promote school readiness among low-income children and their families in the Greensburg, Pennsylvania service area. Services delivered through this five-year project period include educational instruction, health and nutritional support, social-emotional development programming, and family engagement initiatives tailored to local community needs, serving both Head Start preschool programs for three- and four-year-old children and Early Head Start programs for infants, toddlers, and pregnant women.

As an established non-profit community action agency with prior federal funding experience, Westmoreland Human Opportunities will be required to provide a 20 percent non-federal match and maintain compliance with applicable federal performance standards related to school readiness outcomes, health and family well-being metrics, and federal requirements. The organization's Head Start award supports the Administration for Children and Families' broader goal of preparing vulnerable young children to succeed in school through locally-tailored services that engage parents as partners throughout the program.
