The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $893,037 Project Grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) to the Kankakee Iroquois Regional Planning Commission (KIRPC), a local government entity in Indiana. This five-year grant, with a project period from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030, will support KIRPC's delivery of comprehensive early childhood education and family support services through its Head Start program. The Head Start program aims to promote school readiness by enhancing the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of low-income children prior to kindergarten entry, through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, and social services. As a sub-grantee, KIRPC has also received additional federal awards from the Indiana Department of Transportation to support various transit-related projects, demonstrating its involvement in enhancing public transportation services within its eight-county service area.
