The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $1,330,157 Project Grant under CFDA 93.600 - Head Start to Interlocal Community Action Program Inc. (Interlocal Cap) on March 1, 2025. This 5-year grant will support Interlocal Cap's delivery of comprehensive early childhood education and family support services through its Head Start programs. The funding will enable Interlocal Cap, a non-profit organization serving 8 counties in east central Indiana, to provide educational, health, nutritional, social, and other services to low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. These services are designed to enhance the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds prior to entering kindergarten, thereby promoting school readiness. Interlocal Cap has also received sub-awards from state agencies for additional community-focused initiatives, such as weatherization assistance, energy assistance, and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) services, demonstrating its comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of vulnerable populations in its service area.
