Review the most recent Information Memoranda (IMs), Policy Instructions (PIs), Federal Register notices, blogs, and press releases from and related to the Office of Head Start (OHS).
Read this blog from Dr. Futrell about program considerations for the 2022-2023 program year.
Head Start programs are well-positioned to influence maternal health disparities through the provision of comprehensive services and community partnerships.
Effective today, the Office of Head Start is including receipt of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in the interpretation of “public assistance” when determining Head Start eligibility.
Upon issuance, this Information Memorandum allows programs to determine Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients as categorically eligible for Head Start services.
Dr. Futrell recognizes this important time to collaborate and join forces to address the inequities that adversely affect Black maternal health.
