Who can use this

Head Start caters to children aged 3 to 5 years. The program is available for preschoolers who are not yet eligible for kindergarten, with eligibility based on federal poverty guidelines determined by household income and family size. Families receiving SNAP, TANF, or SSI automatically qualify based on income. Those with high housing costs or special situations may still be eligible even if their income exceeds the guidelines. A limited number of over-income families demonstrating substantial need may also be served. Priority is given to children in foster care, those experiencing homelessness, and children with disabilities.
