Head Start Facilities: Federally Funded Property

April 22, 2026

This webinar is included in the Head Start Training Package.

Head Start recipients must comply with the Federal Property Standards in the Uniform Guidance anytime they expend federal funds to acquire, construct, or renovate certain property, including facilities and equipment. In addition, Head Start programs must also navigate special facilities requirements in the Head Start Program Performance Standards and the HHS Grants Policy Statement, including federal interest and its implications for managing your organization’s property.

This webinar is for Head Start leaders and staff who wish to understand the issues that arise when federal funds are used to acquire, construct, or improve property, particularly with Head Start program funds. In this training, we will discuss:

  • Creation of federal interest
  • Practical consequences of federal interest
  • Special cases such as renovating leased facilities
  • Charging mortgage payments to the Head Start grant
  • Refinancing properties with a federal interest
  • And more!

Our discussion will be illustrative for Head Start programs that already own property subject to federal interest or who are considering investing Head Start program funds in property acquisition, construction or renovations.

The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase one week after the conclusion of the live webinar.
