Service Area

Eligibility
Pregnant women and/or families with a child under 3 years of age who meet the Federal criteria for low income are eligible for Early Head Start. The standard for a family of two (Single parent with one child) is $ 12,490 per year. If this particular family pays rent of $500 per month, nearly half of their total income would be used up in rent, and the remaining $6,490 would have to cover groceries, diapers, fuel/transportation, laundry, and every other need that families have. Families who qualify for Head Start: P-3 services are very low income.
In Grant County, Washington many families qualify under the low income criteria. For that reason
