WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded more than $1.5 million to the Southeastern North Dakota Community Action Agency (SENDCAA) for its Head Start Birth to Five program.
