What Happens to Head Start During a Government Shutdown

• Head start will stay open during government shutdown.
• Our staff are not federal employees, so funding is not immediately affected.
• Funding would only be at risk if the shutdown lasts past our grant start date.
• If the shutdown causes any delay in federal renewal families and staff will get updates from TCA program leaders.
• Head start is committed to serving children and families no matter what happens in Washington.
