The Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for communities in Kentucky is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). The purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs that deliver comprehensive early childhood development services to eligible infants, toddlers, preschool-age children, and their families.

The award mechanism is a grant, and the opportunity is structured around one individually defined service area within Kentucky.
