Head Start to Help Homeless Families

LCCAA Head Start will help families struggling with homelessness thanks to a grant from the US Department of Education. Families are considered homeless if they have no permanent home. They may be staying with relatives, living in hotels or in more dire situations.

The grant will be used to purchase luggage, sleeping bags, mats and blankets as well as essential clothing items and school supplies.

“Regardless of where they are, our students will have some items of their own that can easily be transported and stored,” said Head Start Assistant Director Stefanie Drew.

If your family needs help, contact your Family Service Assistant.
