New Resource on State Initiatives to Expand Early Head Start
In September, the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) and ZERO TO THREE released Expanding Access to Early Head Start: State Initiatives for Infants and Toddlers at Risk. The publication highlights how states are using innovative funding, policies, and partnerships to expand the critically important Early Head Start (EHS) program to better meet the needs of more low-income children and pregnant women. Twenty-three states currently have at least one initiative that builds on the federally-funded EHS program. The publication is available at www.zerotothree.org/expandingehs or at www.clasp.org/admin/site/publications/files/ehsinitiatives.pdf.
In addition to the report, there are nine updated in-depth state initiative profiles. They will be available online on the CLASP and ZERO TO THREE websites shortly. Hope that you will find the report useful in your work.
