SUBJECT: Availability of Early Head Start Funds for FY 2001 for Select Areas

INFORMATION: Attached for your information is a copy of a Federal Register Notice announcing a competition for the availability of financial assistance for the Early Head Start program for fiscal year (FY) 2001 in order to continue operating Early Head Start programs in 83 select geographic areas of the country. These areas are listed at the end of the Federal Register Notice and cover the service areas for existing Early Head Start research grantees which were first funded in fiscal years 1995 and 1996 and other Early Head Start grantees first funded in fiscal year 1996. The Head Start Bureau is interested in assuring that communities currently served by these existing grantees will have an opportunity to continue receiving services to low-income families with infants and toddlers and pregnant women through Early Head Start.

We will send you another notice, if funds become available in FY 2001 for a more general expansion of Early Head Start.
