The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) was awarded a $5,560,507 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The grant, awarded on March 1, 2024, will support CCRPC's Early Head Start Expansion initiative, which provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to low-income families in Champaign County, Illinois. As a sub-grantee, CCRPC has also participated in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) through the Illinois State Board of Education, receiving reimbursements for meals and snacks served to enrolled children in their care facilities. This federal grant award will enable CCRPC to enhance its existing early childhood education programs and expand access to these critical services for eligible families in the local community.
