The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has allocated a grant of $4,059,715 to People Incorporated of Virginia. The organization, located in Abingdon, Virginia, will use the funds to support head start and early head start programs. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) commented on the funding:
“People Incorporated is a provider of head start services in Southwest Virginia.”
“This grant for more than $4 million helps People Incorporated administer head start and early head start services.”
According to its website, People Incorporated offers early head start services across Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, and Washington Counties as well as the City of Bristol. The organization operates five head start centers in Southwest Virginia.
Last year marked the 60th anniversary of People Incorporated. Congressman Griffith recognized this milestone with formal remarks in the Congressional Record.
During a recent Health Subcommittee hearing attended by Congressman Griffith, HHS Secretary Kennedy highlighted that President Trump’s Budget request recommends maintaining Head Start funding at the FY 2025 enacted level.
