Migrant head start

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Great Lakes Community Action Partnership $2.921 million under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) on August 1, 2026, to deliver Migrant Head Start services.

The award funds comprehensive early childhood education and family services to migrant and seasonal worker families across Ohio through December 31, 2026. Head Start services enhance cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children through educational, health, nutritional, social, and other services to enrollees and their families.

Great Lakes Community Action Partnership is a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Fremont, Ohio, operating as a federal grant recipient across the Great Lakes region. The organization serves as prime recipient on 149 federal awards and sub-recipient on 162 sub-grants, with portfolio concentration in child development and housing stability programs primarily through HHS Administration for Children and Families and HUD.

The Migrant Head Start award runs from August 1 through December 31, 2026, with place of performance in Ohio. This is a project grant, one of multiple Head Start awards GLCAP manages; the organization also administers a $2.757 million Community Services Block Grant Discretionary Award providing rural infrastructure technical assistance across seven states and multiple Continuum of Care awards supporting permanent housing and homelessness services in the Fremont region.
