2024–2025 PIR Collection Documents

The 2024–2025 PIR is now final in the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES). There are no changes to the 2024-2025 PIR.

The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law on March 23, 2024, included new flexibilities for determining eligibility for American Indian Alaska Native (AIAN) and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) programs. AIAN and MSHS programs are encouraged to report families eligible per the new flexibilities using categories A.13.e and A.13.f when necessary.
