Fewer documents for Head Start applicants
If your organization applies for Head Start grants, the updated application lowers the paperwork you must submit. It reduces the number of required supporting documents for both baseline and continuation applications and cuts the amount of information needed in the program and budget justification narrative.
Three-year OMB approval extension requested
The Administration for Children and Families is requesting a 3-year extension of the Head Start Grant Application Instrument and Instructions (OMB #0970-0207). The current OMB approval for this form expires on June 30, 2025.
