About this Project
Every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow, learn and thrive. However, children experiencing homelessness face challenges that can jeopardize their well-being. New Directions Early Head Start is dedicated to providing critical support, education and resources to young children and their families. This project will help us provide direct services to children who are unhoused and help their families secure stable housing.
New Directions Early Head Start (NDEHS) offers home-based and center-based services for families. NDEHS is an inter-agency program committed to empowering and supporting pregnant women, infants, toddlers and their families. The consortium is comprised of multiple agencies including The Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Childhood, the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Delaware and community provider agencies.
