DHS Awards $11,526 In Grant Money To FDL County Birth To 3 Program

The
Birth to 3 Program in FDL
County received a
much-needed financial boost, thanks to grant money awarded by the Department of
Health Services. DHS awarded $1.2 million in grants to 15 local county Birth to
3 Programs across the state, and FDL
County will receive $11,526.
The funding will assist in helping local programs explore new and better ways
to address the unique needs of children with developmental delays and
disabilities. 

The Birth to 3 Program is
an early intervention program provided by counties to support children under
the age of three who have developmental delays or disabilities. More than 30
local programs submitted applications for this competitive opportunity. Some
counties applied individually, while others worked together as consortia to
submit their applications.
