MVCDC, which serves over 2,500 families across Congressman Turner\u2019s district, was allocated funds under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 (HHS) Fiscal Year 2024 Head Start Projects grant program. This funding will be spent over the next five years to support MVCDC\u2019s mission.\n\nIn November 2023, Congressman Turner wrote a letter to the Administration for Children and Families\u2019 Office of Head Start to support MVCDC\u2019s application to continue as the grantee for Head Start and Early Head Start services in Montgomery, Clark, and Madison Counties.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to continue supporting Miami Valley Child Development Centers\u2019 work to improve the lives of low-income children and their families. This funding will directly help children to start kindergarten socially, emotionally, and academically on track. Beyond the high-quality early education it offers, MVCDC plays a key role in helping families become financially stable and independent,\u201d said Congressman Mike Turner.\n\nBackground:\n\nMVCDC is Dayton\u2019s largest Head Start provider and services more than 2,500 families annually.\n\nMVCDC works holistically with each child and family, taking a balanced approach to parent involvement, health, nutrition, social competency, literacy, and numeracy development.\n\nMVCDC is also a leader in the Head Start community in Ohio. It has been selected for expansion funding, specifically for Early Head Start services.\n\nRecently, the national Office of Head Start awarded it $9 million to consolidate and expand services at a new state-of-the-art early learning center in a historically under-resourced neighborhood in East Dayton.\n\nMVCDC collaborates with various organizations to ensure children and families get the resources they need and leverage philanthropic and tax dollars.\n\nIn March 2018, Congressman Turner wrote a letter supporting MVCDC\u2019s successful $25 million grant application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In August 2018, MVCDC received the initial installment of the grant of $12.3 million. On September 15, 2023, MVCDC received the balance of the $25 million award.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "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://turner.house.gov/2024/7/turner-announces-more-than-14-million-for-miami-valley-child-development-centers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8034450002014637, "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"}
