Child Support Enforcement, Child Care, and Head Start Collaboration Grants Awarded to Six States


By John P. Doyle
     Under welfare reform, child support services are emerging as a key resource to self-sufficiency for many child care and Head Start families.

     Six states are in the second year of implementing demonstration grants to develop models of collaboration among Child Support Enforcement, Child Care, and Head Start programs at state and local levels. The three-year grants were awarded in 1997 to State Child Support Enforcement agencies which, in turn, formed teams with Child Care and Head Start staff to develop state-specific collaboration activities to be implemented in local child support, child care, and Head Start programs. These collaborative efforts promote and facilitate access to child support services through local child care and Head Start programs; they also further a broader understanding of child support and parenting issues within the three programs.

     The six states awarded the demonstration grants and the contact person for each state are shown on the right.
