Feds OK funding extension for NEON’s Head Start

Hour Staff Reports | Posted: Friday, April 12, 2013 5:57 pm

NORWALK — NEON announced Friday that the Administration for Children & Families has extended federal funding for Norwalk’s Head Start program which NEON operates through Dec. 31. Funding had previously been extended by the federal agency that administers Head Start through June 30.

Pat Wilson Pheanious, NEON’s interim president and CEO, greeted the news as a very positive development.

“The extension of funding reassures our students’ parents and the community that our agency’s management of Head Start meets or exceeds federal requirements,” she said. “Over the last year, NEON has made great strides in advancing our program. We are now in an excellent position to re-compete for Head Start funding.”

NEON’s Head Start grant funding application was not received by a July 16, 2012, deadline. As there were no successful applicants for the Norwalk area, NEON is now eligible to re-compete in an application process that will be initiated in the near future, according to Wilson Pheanious.
