Children and parents living in one of four shelters in Minneapolis (Families Moving Forward, Mary's Place, People Serving People, or St. Anne's) receive comprehensive Head Start or Early Head Start services through the Full Day Project Secure program. Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers are cared for at Fraser and McKnight centers, and their parents receive additional supportive services to help them stabilize their families and seek employment. Children enrolled in Project Secure are given priority for enrollment in PICA's other Head Start or Early Head Start program options when they and their families move from the shelters.
