The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has authorized the Neighborhood and Community Services to apply for grant funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. If the grant is approved by HHS then the funds would be used for the County’s Early Head Start Child Care partnership and expansion programs.

The funding that Neighborhood and Community Services is asking for would be in the amount of $1,088, 500 which would include a local cash match of $194,402. There is also an amount of $28,135 that will come from in-kind contributions.

If the application is approved then the funding would go to already existing services that are being provided by NCS to 56 infants and toddlers as well as their families.
