Pace Community Action Agency's Head Start program, which serves children and families across Knox and three other southwestern Indiana counties, is warning that the ongoing federal government shutdown is threatening to disrupt essential services.
Pace Head Start is one of 134 programs nationwide scheduled to receive federal grant money on Saturday, November 1st. Tai Blythe, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Pace Community Action Agency reports that if the impasse in Washington D.C. continues, the program may be forced to reduce services, close temporarily, or seek emergency local funding to stay open.
In addition to the families and children served, approximately 80 local staff members are employed through Pace Head Start. Without access to the federal funding, their livelihoods are also at risk.
