Head Start in Mississippi

What the 93.600–Mississippi join is

CFDA 93.600 is titled HEAD START. Filtered to Mississippi place of performance, obligations sum to $1,610,764,643.04 on 75 awards. The national Head Start hub includes every state. The Mississippi spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $1,610,764,643.04 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of funded slots in Jackson or the Delta.

Seventy-five 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 Hinds from the Gulf Coast, or count classrooms. Packet facts are $1,610,764,643.04, 75 awards, MS, and 93.600. Correlation is not causation.

93.600 is not CCDBG in Mississippi
