The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $915,915 Project Grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. The grant, awarded on February 1, 2025 with a completion date of January 31, 2030, supports comprehensive early childhood education and family support services for low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children in the Red Lake, Minnesota area. The funding will enable the Red Lake Band to deliver educational, health, nutritional, and social services designed to enhance the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds prior to their entry into kindergarten. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Red Lake Band has the capacity to tailor these Head Start services to the unique needs of the local American Indian and Alaska Native community.
