I – 039 If an enrolled Head Start family moves out of the Head Start program’s service area, can the family continue services with that Head Start program?
In most cases, the child should be served, if possible, by the Head Start program responsible for the area in which the child now lives. However, there may be some situations; i.e. the program’s year is almost over, the “receiving” program has a long waiting list while the program currently serving the child is struggling to maintain full enrollment, the involved child has special needs which make a transition especially difficult, etc. when it may be appropriate to allow the child to remain in the program that has, thus far, served the child. In such a situation both grantees and the child’s family must agree to the arrangement and the program serving the child needs approval from its ACF Regional Office.
