Project Grant 06HP000602

The federal Project Grant award of $995,333.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Head Start federal grant program (CFDA 93.600). The grant funding will support an Early Head Start Child Care Partnership in Texas over a 5-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The partnership aims to promote the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of low-income infants, toddlers, and preschoolers through the provision of comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutritional, and social services. The primary awardee is the County of Webb, doing business as the Economic Development Department, a U.S. local government entity in Texas. The county government will likely leverage its experience administering federal grants for substance abuse treatment, community development, and public transportation to implement the Head Start program and deliver these critical early childhood development services to eligible families in its jurisdiction.
