Nadler Celebrates $1 Million Community Funding Grant, Visits Lenox Hill Neighborhood Head Start Program

Congressman Nadler secured $1 million in community grant funding during the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations for the Early Childhood Center. He continues to be an outspoken advocate for increased funding for Head Start and Early Head Start Programs in NY-12 and nationwide.

"Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow with their peers, regardless of their family's income status," said Congressman Nadler. "Head Start programs are critical to secure these opportunities for children and families in New York City and across the U.S. These investments in early education address the financial burden of childcare and empower guardians to work while their children learn and play in safe environments. It was a pleasure to see the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House Head Start Program in action and meet with the passionate team that supports NY-12's children and families every day."
