The goal of this planning grant is to design a new study focused on deeper, more meaningful investments across three core domains in Head Start:

1. economic well-being, that includes stability, mobility, and wealth generation opportunities;
2. maternal/family and child health; and
3. child development and education.

This planning grant will result in a policy scan and preliminary feasibility of an innovative program where there is a laser focus on the trifecta of health, wealth, and education, moving beyond “light touch” impact on families' lives to transformative impact on communities.
