The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $2,017,028 five-year (11/1/2024 - 10/31/2029) Project Grant to the Economic Opportunity Agency of Washington County, Inc., a non-profit organization in Springdale, Arkansas, to provide Head Start and Early Head Start services.
The Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) supports comprehensive early childhood education and family support services for low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. The program aims to promote school readiness by offering educational, health, nutritional, and social services to enhance the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of disadvantaged children prior to kindergarten entry.
In addition, the agency manages several sub-awards from the Arkansas Departments of Finance/Administration and Human Services, primarily focused on child abuse victim services and short-term housing assistance for low to moderate-income families in the Springdale area and Washington County region.
