Head Start is a federally-funded program that provides early learning, health, and nutrition services to young children from birth to age five. Children are eligible if their family income is below the federal poverty line ($32,150 for a family of four), they are in foster care, or they are experiencing homelessness. Federal funds go directly to local grantees who operate programs in every Congressional district, across a variety of settings, and in rural, urban, and suburban communities. These fact sheets and interactive maps provide valuable insights into the children, families, and communities who depend on Head Start services.
