Hispanic-serving Institutions Assisting Communities Program
FY 1999 Awardees
Western New Mexico University, Silver City, NM -- $334,878
Western New Mexico State University will receive a Hispanic-serving Institutions Assisting Communities Program grant of $334,878 to construct and start a Child Care Center in Truth or Consequences, NM. The project is a partnership between the University, the City of Truth or Consequences, and two experienced child care organizations.
Currently, there is a severe shortage of child care facilities in the area and all the existing ones have long waiting lists. Increased child care capacity will support parents entering the work force and or job training programs.
In addition to providing child care, the facility will enable people to be trained in the child care profession through the University's Early Care, Education, and Family Support programs.
