Congressman Nick Langworthy Announces Over $2.3 Million Grant for Head Start Projects in Cattaraugus County

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) announced that the County of Cattaraugus has been awarded $2,396,455 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for Head Start Inc. Projects. 

“I was proud to support and deliver over $2.3 million to the Cattaraugus County Project Head Start,” said Congressman Langworthy. “Head Start programming is a tremendous resource to working Cattaraugus County families and this funding will ensure children have the best opportunity to learn and be nurtured. I am excited to see this program flourish with federal assistance.”

Head Start is based on the premise that all children share certain needs and that children of income eligible families can benefit from a comprehensive developmental program to meet those needs. The program maximizes the strengths and unique experiences of each child. The family, which is the principal influence on the child’s development, is a direct participant in the program.
