Head Start for Our Future Act
HR 656, the "Head Start for Our Future Act," amends the Higher Education Act to update a funding provision. It replaces the phrase "literacy training" with "child development and early learning (including Head Start programs and Early Head Start programs)" in Section 441(c)(1). This change explicitly directs funds under that section toward early childhood development services, including existing Head Start and Early Head Start programs. The bill does not create new funding but clarifies that these programs qualify for related support.
