This year’s budget includes $9.853 billion for Head Start and Early Head Start, a $610 million increase over FY 2017 funding! There is additional data I could site re: other funding increases in child welfare programs as a result of the consolidation of funding (not elimination) to achieve service efficiency. Bottom line is that the only way we will advance the welfare of children and families is to build bridges not demonize groups based upon their party affiliation.
