Poverty Guidelines & Income Eligible

Head Start enrollment prioritizes families in poverty according to the Federal Poverty guidelines and identified through the use of benefits including FoodSHare, SSI, TANIF, Children in Foster Care and/or Kinship.

Over Income

Head Start recognizes that there are many additional concerns that may impact families who then would benefit from participating in Head Start programing. After all income eligible families are served, addition slots may be offered to families identified from the Over Income waiting list.
