The Head Start program provides a pre-school learning experience for three and four year old children from low-income families and children with disabilities, coupled with a holistic emphasis on health, nutrition, social services and special services for children with identified disabilities through full parent involvement and participation. Ninety percent of the children supported by Head Start must come from low-income families. The income guidelines are determined by the federal government and are revised annually. Ten percent of the children enrolled in our Head Start program must be allocated for children with disabilities. Programs operate four days per week, four hours per day during September through May, in the counties of Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Texas and Wright.
The Community Services Block Grant, LIHEAP and related program services assists low-income families in need. Through a comprehensive assessment and eligibility determination, families are referred to local resources within our six county service area or directly assisted with energy assistance, emergency services, property tax filing, rent rebates, vehicle loan repair program, family support program services, weatherization and HUD applications. It is the mission of Ozark Action, Inc. to coordinate and provide services for people with needs so they can improve their quality of life.
The HUD housing choice voucher program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable rental housing. Rental assistance is provided on behalf of the family, allowing the family to select their own home. Families may choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program. Generally, the family will pay 30% of their adjusted income toward housing costs (rent + utilities) with the balance in the form of rental assistance. Many families utilize rental assistance for a limited time while simultaneously working to improve other items affecting their lives. Housing rental assistance serves over 500 low-income families annually through HUD Section 8. Wait list priorities apply to all assistance.
