"This evaluation covered the Aboriginal Head Start in Urban and Northern Communities (AHSUNC) program for the period from 2011-12 to 2015-16. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the relevance and performance of the AHSUNC program. The AHSUNC program, created in 1995 and constituting a federal investment of $174.1 million over the past 5 years, is an early childhood development intervention for Indigenous preschool children and families living off-reserve. Through contribution funding provided by PHAC, Indigenous community organizations design and deliver holistic programs to enhance the spiritual, emotional, physical and social well-being of Indigenous children aged 0-6 and their families. The program targets three distinct groups of Indigenous people living in urban and northern communities: First Nations living off-reserve, Métis and Inuit”--Executive summary, p. iii.
