Manchin Announces $5.2 Million for Coalfield Community Action Partnership Head Start Program

Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced $5,239,853 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the Coalfield Community Action Partnership Head Start Program in Williamson. Head Start supports educational growth from birth to age 5 through services that strengthen early learning and emotional development, health and safety and family well-being.

“Every child in West Virginia deserves access to a quality education, no matter their background or where they live in our great state. Head Start provides children with the skills and foundation they need for a bright future, and I am pleased HHS is investing more than $5.2 million to support the critical efforts of the Coalfield Community Action Partnership. As a long-time supporter of Head Start programs and a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue advocating for funding to support educational opportunities for all West Virginia children,” said Senator Manchin.
