Head Start in Georgia

What the 93.600–Georgia join is

CFDA 93.600 is titled HEAD START. Filtered to Georgia place of performance, obligations sum to $1,800,113,172.48 on 112 awards. The national Head Start hub includes every state. The Georgia spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $1,800,113,172.48 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of funded slots in Atlanta or Savannah.

One hundred twelve awards is a many-grantee pattern: Head Start often funds local agencies rather than a single statewide block. The join does not name those agencies, split Fulton from South Georgia, or count classrooms. Packet facts are $1,800,113,172.48, 112 awards, GA, and 93.600. Correlation is not causation.

93.600 is not the Child Care Block Grant

Head Start and the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) are different catalog numbers. Mixing CCDBG dollars into $1,800,113,172.48 would overstate this cell. Early Head Start expansions, if cataloged separately, would also sit elsewhere. Facts on this page: Georgia, CFDA 93.600, $1,800,113,172.48, 112 awards. Enrollment and CLASS scores are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Head Start, not a school-readiness ranking. Dividing $1,800,113,172.48 by 112 yields about $16.07 million per award—closer to a local-agency grant than to a statewide block. Unique recipients are unpublished. 112 is not a count of teachers or children.
