This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600), provides $3,986,681.00 to Lutheran Social Services of the South, Inc. to deliver comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children in Texas.
The award, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029, supports Lutheran Social Services' implementation of Head Start and Early Head Start programs. These programs enhance the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds prior to their entry into kindergarten. In addition to direct services, Lutheran Social Services also manages federal grant sub-awards for related services such as residential care for unaccompanied immigrant children and trauma-informed support for victims of domestic minor sex trafficking.
