PLASKETT ANNOUNCES $1.6 MILLION GRANT FROM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES\r\nWashington, D.C.  Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded over $1.6 million for Head Start Programs to Lutheran Social Services of the Virgin Islands. The Congresswoman made the following remarks:\r\nStudies have shown that the first five years of a child's life are crucial for brain development and that the first three years even more so. The $1.6 million dollars awarded in this grant will help to fund the Lutheran Social Services of the Virgin Islands' Early Head Start program which provides service to over a hundred children, families, and pregnant women.\r\nEnsuring that the community has access to quality childcare is an issue that benefits all aspects of our community, including health, education and economics. I am confident that Lutheran Social Services of the Virgin Islands will use these funds to continue providing exemplary services to the children and families of the U.S. Virgin Islands.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://plaskett.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3495"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.838124193251133, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
