US EditionFederal funding confusion impacts local Head Start program
- A memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget that proposed a funding freeze was rescinded, impacting the Cattaraugus Wyoming Head Start program among others, with over 20,000 children affected in 23 states according to NBC News and the Head Start Association survey.
- Senator Schumer stated that problems persist, as officials attempt to contact the Health and Human Services Department regarding funding issues, with the Cattaraugus Wyoming program receiving only a partial payment of $300,000.
- As of February 5, at least 50 Head Start and Early Head Start providers in 24 states are still waiting for reimbursements, despite assurances that the funding freeze would not affect them, according to a survey conducted by the National Head Start Association.
- Head Start advocates express concern over the future stability of funding, as Congress has not passed a budget for the current fiscal year, and Republican leadership seems inclined to cut expenses, raising fears of long-term funding issues.
