Head Start in Texas

What the 93.600–Texas join is

CFDA 93.600 is titled HEAD START. Crossed with Texas place of performance, obligations sum to $5,349,930,629.73 on 312 awards. The national Head Start hub includes other states. Texas’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $5,349,930,629.73 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of Head Start classrooms in Houston, Dallas, or the Valley.

312 awards is a mid-thickness early-childhood book: denser than a five-row CHIP cell, thinner than many SNAP payment books. The join does not name grantees, list centers, or count enrolled children. Packet facts stop at $5,349,930,629.73, 312 awards, TX, and 93.600.

93.600 is not CCDBG or Title I

Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) and Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010) are different catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $5,349,930,629.73 would invent a broader early-childhood total than this cell contains. Early Head Start may share the Head Start catalog in some filings; this packet does not split them. Facts available: Texas, CFDA 93.600, $5,349,930,629.73, 312 awards. Slot counts and PIR flags are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Head Start, not a ranking of county poverty. Dividing $5,349,930,629.73 by 312 yields about $17.15 million per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical center budget. Unique recipients are unpublished. 312 is not a count of classrooms.
