What this bill would do

The Keep Head Start Funded Act of 2025 provides continuing appropriations for Head Start programs for fiscal year 2026. It ensures that projects or activities conducted in fiscal year 2025 can continue without interruption. These funds are available until a new appropriation is enacted, a Department of Health and Human Services Act is passed without such funds, or September 30, 2026, arrives. The Act is designed to take effect as if enacted on September 30, 2025.
