Thanks to the support of the Community Development Block Grant from the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Green Bay, Encompass will be able expand our current tuition assistance program to provide no-cost tuition for qualifying families in need. By ensuring families in need have no out-of-pocket costs for the duration of the grant, families are able to plan for the future while providing their children with access to the highest quality early education and care. If we can strengthen families, we know we will also strengthen the economic vitality of our community.
While we see many positive outcomes for families and the community, our core focus has and will always be on the children. It is our estimate that this grant will alleviate financial stressors for approximately 50 families and nearly 90 children in poverty in our community. Access to high-quality childcare creates a ripple effect across a child’s life, increasing their reading proficiency in elementary school, their likelihood of graduating high school and attaining other successes later in life.
Thank you to the City of Green Bay and the Redevelopment Authority for your partnership and support of children and families in our community.
