and Families (ACF) is requesting clearance from the Office of

national descriptive study of the characteristics of families served by
Head Start Migrant Programs. This study will provide essential
descriptive data on the characteristics of the families presently being
served by Migrant Head Start Programs; the availability and
coordination of services related to serving Head Start migrant
families; and a national estimate of the number of children of migrant
farmworkers who are eligible for Head Start services.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the information collection may be obtained from
Edward E. Saunders of the Office of Information Systems Management,
ACF, by calling (202) 205-7921.

Information on Document
Title: Descriptive Study of the Characteristics of Families Served
by Head Start Migrant Programs.
OMB No.: New request.
Description: The Migrant Head Start Program currently funds 26
programs in 18 States and serves a unique population which requires a
service delivery system different in some respects from that utilized
by regular Head Start programs. In addition to poverty and seasonal
employment, migrant families often lack education, adequate housing,
transportation, health care, child and family services and social,
nutritional and legal services. Within this unique context, and keeping
the mobility factor in mind, Migrant Head Start grantees have developed
creative program designs (full-day center based, home-based, and family
day care) and diverse service delivery models to meet the multiple
needs of low-income migrant families.
This descriptive study is intended to: (1) Provide information on
the characteristics of the families presently being served by Migrant
Head Start programs; (2) document availability and coordination of
services related to serving Head Start migrant families; and (3)
provide a national estimate of the number of children of migrant
farmworkers who are eligible for Head Start services. The information
will be used by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families to
determine program policies as the Head Start Program continues to
expand.
