Head Start Family Income Guidelines for 2007
[Attachment for Information Memorandum] ACF-IM-HS-07-05
 
Abstract

Children are eligible to participate in Head Start if they are from low-income families or if their families are eligible for public assistance. The 2007 Family Income Guidelines (attached) must be used to determine eligibility for Head Start for families who are eligible because they have low-incomes.
