This grant is for existing federally-funded American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) Head Start agencies. The primary purpose is to expand services to unserved AIAN children and families residing within their currently defined and federally-approved service areas. This initiative aims specifically to increase the number of pre-school age children served in AIAN Head Start programs. Furthermore, AIAN grantees that currently operate an Early Head Start program are eligible to apply under this announcement to expand their existing Early Head Start enrollment. The overarching objective is to empower current grantees to provide vital early childhood education and development services to a greater number of low-income children within their established communities, fostering positive outcomes for families.
