Its primary grant programs include the Head Start federal grant program, which provides comprehensive early childhood education and support services for low-income children, and the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP), which assists low-income households with energy needs. Additionally, the agency administers Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds designed to reduce poverty, revitalize communities, and empower low-income families to become self-sufficient. Its most recent significant award is a five-year Head Start project grant of $2,129,653.00, running from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029, which will support educational, health, nutritional, and social services for preschool-aged children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The agency has consistently worked with state-level partners to distribute these critical social service resources to communities in need.
