Sykes Secures Nearly $3.6 Million For Community Action Head Start | 2024-10-03 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Democrat | House | OH | Emilia Strong Sykes | S001223 | sykes.house.gov | sykes | https://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | AKRON, OH — Today, U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) announced the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded Community Action Akron-Summit $3,592,486 for its Head Start Program. “I am excited to announce this vital funding, which will help support families in Ohio’s 13th Congressional District. Head Start plays a critical role in helping low income families secure their American Dream. The program supports the healthy development of our children and ensures that they are set up to be successful in kindergarten and beyond. Head Start also lowers childcare costs for their parents and guardians, helping those adults pursue workforce opportunities that otherwise may be unattainable without reliable, affordable childcare,” said Rep. Sykes. Head Start is a federally-funded program that provides school readiness and ensures that both low-income children and parents are prepared for Kindergarten and for a life filled with learning. Additionally, through either direct service or referrals, Head Start children receive numerous health services ensuring good physical, dental, nutritional and mental health. Head Start is available at no cost to pregnant moms, infants, toddlers and children up to age five from income-eligible families. Children with special needs are also welcome. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
