Municipality Of Barceloneta

The Municipality of Barceloneta is a local government entity located in Puerto Rico, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since October 2009, with registration valid through January 2026. As a U.S. local government municipality, it primarily operates the Early Head Start Program, which focuses on providing comprehensive early childhood education and family support services to low-income communities. The organization is primarily engaged in federal grant awards from the Office of Head Start, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families.

Through its federal grant awards, Municipality of Barceloneta has consistently received project grants targeting disaster recovery, pandemic response, and early childhood education. Key grant awards include a significant $8 million disaster recovery grant for Head Start programs addressing impacts from hurricanes and COVID-19, with a performance period from August 2024 to July 2027. The organization has received multiple federal grants with varying focuses, including disaster assistance funds, COVID-19 response grants, and standard Head Start and Early Head Start programming. These grants have enabled the municipality to deliver comprehensive services such as educational programming, health services, nutrition support, and social services for children aged 0-5 and their families. The municipality has also participated in sub-grant awards through the Governor's Authorized Representative, which appear to be related to specific project works (PWs) potentially connected to infrastructure or community recovery efforts. The consistent pattern of grants demonstrates the organization's critical role in supporting vulnerable populations through targeted early childhood and family support interventions.
