Before submitting an application
under Sec. 1309.10, the grantee must establish that:
(a) The Head Start program serves an Indian
Tribe, or is located in a rural or other low-income community; and
(b) There is a lack of suitable facilities (including public school
facilities) in the grantee's service area which will inhibit or prevent the
operation of the program, as demonstrated by a statement that neither the
grantee's current facility nor any facility available for lease or purchase in
the service area is suitable or could be made suitable without major
renovation. This statement must explain the factors considered, how it was
determined that there is a lack of suitable facilities and be supported,
whenever possible, by written statement from a licensed real estate
professional in the grantee's service area.
