The
Housing Authority of Baltimore City received approval from the Board of Estimates to release more than $200,000 in federal stimulus funding to several Head Start Centers located throughout Baltimore.
These funds will be used to provide Head Start services to children and their families. They will also enable Head Start facilities to address urgent health and safety issues.
"We want to provide a holistic approach to learning and development," says Paul Graziano, Baltimore Housing Commissioner. "The services that these organizations provide will result in positive outcomes for our children and families."
Metro Delta Head Start Inc., will receive $20,000 to support services for 312 children and their families in Baltimore City. The one-time grant will fund efforts to address health and safety issues. Associated Catholic Charities' St. Jerome's Head Start Program will receive a $75, 340 grant which will support services for 258 children and their families. The Umogoja Head Start Program at the Unity Methodist Church was awarded the largest grant totaling $112,340 to offer services for 187 children and their families.
