To foster health and well-being by providing federal leadership, partnership and resources for the compassionate and effective delivery of human services
The grant's broad goals are to expand access to high-quality, comprehensive services for low-income infants, toddlers, and their families. This aim is to be achieved through Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships, or by the expansion of Early Head Start services. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) emphasizes the importance of comprehensive services, which contribute significantly to the cognitive, social, and emotional development of infants and toddlers. The funding opportunity is open to public entities, including states, or private non-profit organizations, such as community-based or faith-based organizations, and for-profit agencies that are eligible under the specified criteria in section 42 U.S.C. 9840A of the Head Start Act.
