President Biden signed the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (P.L. 118-47), into law on March 23, 2024. The funding level for programs under the Head Start Act (the Act) is $12,271,820,000, an increase of $275 million over FY 2023. This funding level provides all Head Start, Early Head Start, and Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnership grant recipients a 2.35% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).Recipients subject to competition for continued funding through the Designation Renewal System (DRS) are entitled to COLA funds through the end of their current award. Head Start Collaboration Offices are not eligible for COLA funding due to the statutory cap on their funding in the Head Start Act. (author abstract)
