Firm Wins Two New Regions and Two Re-Compete Regions to Continue
Work with Head Start Program
ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI) announced today that its subsidiary, ICF
Incorporated, LLC, was awarded two new contracts and two re-compete
contracts worth over $47M to provide state-based training and technical
assistance through direct service to the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
Office of Head Start. The new areas include the Pacific Northwest and
the American Indian/Alaska Native regions. The new contracts are valued
at over $26 million. The re-competed contracts won are for the
Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West regions.
ICF will assist with training and technical consulting assistance,
conference facilitation and collaboration, and program management
services to grantees in each region. The goals include enhancing the
quality of services that children and families receive to improve
outcomes for children as they get ready to enter school.
“It is especially gratifying to have been awarded these four regions to
support the Office of Head Start and Head Start grantees. These wins
further expand ICF’s role working with at-risk children and families,
also allowing us to specifically work with the American Indian/Alaska
Native communities throughout the United States,” said Barbara Rudin,
ICF senior vice president and early education expert. “Through our work
in the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, Pacific Northwest, and American
Indian/Alaska Native regions, we run the gamut of large inner city
grantees to remote rural programs. This provides us the opportunity to
hone our skills and understanding of the program constituents and ensure
that we are providing best practices wherever we work with Head Start
grantees,” she added.
