Summary Table on Perceived Barriers
[Attachment for Information Memorandum] ACYF-IM-HS-01-13
 

This chart highlights barriers to widely differing costs per child and cost allocation requirements. It also provides the solutions for grantees in overcoming these barriers (This is the attachment for ACYF-IM-HS-01-13). Head Start fiscal managers and program directors will find this resource helpful when making budget decisions.
