The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded People Incorporated of Virginia, based in Abingdon, Virginia, a $4,059,715 grant. The funding supports head start and early head start projects. U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“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.”

BACKGROUND

According to its website, People Incorporated of Virginia offers early head start services to Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell and Washington Counties as well as the City of Bristol.

People Incorporated lists five head start centers based in Southwest Virginia.

Last year, Congressman Griffith entered formal remarks in the Congressional Record to celebrate the organization’s 60^thanniversary.

In a recent Health Subcommittee hearing with Congressman Griffith present, HHS Secretary Kennedy noted President Trump’s Budget request recommends Head Start continue to receive funding equal to the FY 2025 enacted level.
