SNAP Benefits are provided by CalFresh in California.
The Office of Head Start (OHS) has recently made a big change in how we determine if a family is eligible to enroll in Head Start. OHS is now including receipt of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in the interpretation of “public assistance” when determining Head Start eligibility.
So what does that mean for families who want to enroll in our program?
