Peter DeFazio (OR-04) is pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has awarded a grant totaling $1,636,645 to Kids & Company of Linn County. Congressman DeFazio strongly supports Head Start programs such as Kids & Company of Linn County, which ensure that children get the support and resources they need to succeed in the classroom.\n\u201cStudy after study confirms just how important early childhood education, nutrition, healthcare and family support services are for our nation's youth,\u201d DeFazio said. \u201cI've had the opportunity to visit a number of Head Start programs and it's easy to see what a valuable difference they make in children's lives. The programs are good for families, for communities and ultimately, the U.S. economy, which benefits from educated and healthy citizens.\u201d\nIn addition to Head Start, Congressman DeFazio supports increased federal funding for programs such as the Childcare Development Block Grant, and the Individuals with Disabilities (IDEA) Infants and Families and Preschool grants.\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": ["http://defazio.house.gov//media-center/press-releases/defazio-applauds-federal-grant-to-help-local-families"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6398509722203016, "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"}
