Head Start programs serving more than 10,000 disadvantaged children would immediately lose federal funding if the government shutdown isn t averted. Those 10 programs are located in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and South Carolina. They serve just a fraction of the 820,00 children enrolled in the program at any given time. Officials say they are in trouble because their grants start on Sunday, just as the shutdown would begin, though some may be able to remain open for a few weeks. Programs whose grants don’t start on that date will continue getting money. But if the shutdown drags on, the number of affected programs will grow as more grants come up up for renewal.
