There are 23 Head Start programs nationwide that are on an Oct. 1 funding cycle and could be hurt by the federal government shutdown. Here are the seven from Florida, according to the office of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston:
Mid-Florida Community Services
Episcopal Children’s Services Inc
Suwannee Valley Community Coordinated Care
Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners
Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners
Orange County Commission
Capital Area Community Action Agency
And that's on top of the fact that Head Start programs already faced cuts due to the sequester -- Florida expects to cut 1,205 slots.
