Federal shutdown in the US threatens Head Start programs serving 65,000 low-income children
The US federal government shutdown is impacting over 65,000 low-income children. Head Start programs are running out of funds, with some already using emergency money. If Congress does not act, many more programs will lose grants. This threatens classrooms, meals, and developmental support for children. Families and staff face strain, and rural areas are particularly vulnerable.
