Head start and early head start

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Family Resource Agency Inc. $12,025,501 on September 1, 2026, under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) to deliver Head Start and Early Head Start services in Georgia through August 31, 2031.

Family Resource Agency Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee, will provide comprehensive early childhood education, health and nutritional support, social-emotional development programming, and family engagement initiatives for low-income children and families. The award funds educational instruction, health services, nutrition services, and parent partnership activities across Head Start Preschool programs (serving 3- and 4-year-old children) and Early Head Start programs (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant women).

This five-year project grant is a non-competing continuation of the organization's existing Head Start award (which runs through August 31, 2026). Family Resource Agency Inc. operates as both a direct federal grant recipient and a sub-recipient flowing funding through state agencies, with the organization's portfolio heavily weighted toward HHS family services programs, USDA nutrition reimbursements, and Department of Justice victim services funding. The organization's federal footprint reflects specialized delivery of early childhood and victim-services programming operating predominantly as a state administrative pass-through vehicle.
