An Equal Opportunity Program
Head Start provides free comprehensive early childhood education services in a classroom setting while engaging families.
This is a free home-based program in which family advocates provide a weekly home visit and offer comprehensive services.
We offer an Early Head Start center-based program that provides comprehensive services beyond the classroom for prenatal parents and their children up to age three. We are located in Jefferson County at Kids Connection Daycare and Saline County at Blue River Family Center.
We are here for center-based daycares and in-home daycares looking for coaching and support on licensing, child development, and more.
All scholarships will be in the amount of $1,000 and can be used for tuition, books and fees associated with enrollment. Three scholarships will be awarded.
Low-income families are able to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient through our weatherization services.
The Purchase-Rehab/Lease Purchase Program allows potential homeowners a two-year leasing window to prepare for homeownership while being provided the opportunity to save for a down payment.
The Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program provides financial assistance to repair substandard single family homes. The funds are given as conditional grants, deferred loans, or low-interest loans.
The Homeownership Opportunity Program provides assistance for the purchase of existing or newly constructed single-family homes. The funds are available to assist individuals and families with closing costs and down payment.
If you are in need of assistance or would like more information regarding the programs, please reach out to your local Coordinator.
