Funding freeze impacts community health, Head Start programs

Season 2025 Episode 37 | 6m 35s

A broad federal funding freeze announced by the Trump administration last week, and blocked by a pair of judges, is destabilizing a wide range of programs despite the court interventions. Some Community Health and Head Start programs have sporadically been blocked from funding, forcing some to shut down. Political correspondent Lisa Desjardins has been investigating what’s happening and reports.
