WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL-26) applauded a $2,877,758 Health and Human Services (HHS) Head Start grant for Le Jardin Community Center in Homestead, Florida. Le Jardin Community Center provides low-income children and families of diverse backgrounds opportunities to learn, develop, and increase their likelihood of success in the future.
“I am thrilled to announce this $2.8 million Head Start grant going to our incredible Le Jardin Community Center in Homestead,” said Mucarsel-Powell. “I recently visited this center and witnessed firsthand the great impact this funding has on children and families in my community. Because of Head Start, children at Le Jardin Community Center have access to quality education, mental health, and nutrition programs. These programs are critical for giving children across our district the opportunity to succeed both in school and later in life, regardless of their economic background. In South Florida, Head Start centers are a lifeline for many communities, and I will continue fighting to ensure they receive the support and resources they need.”
