On April 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services closed five Head Start regional offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
Along with the cuts to Head Start, HHS is expected to shrink its personnel from about 92,600 positions to 62,000. HHS provided a breakdown of some of the cuts, which will include:
- 3,500 jobs at the Food and Drug Administration,
- 2,400 jobs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
- 1,200 jobs at the National Institutes of Health, and
- 300 jobs at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
