- Today the Office of Head Start released IM-HS-22-06 Strategies to Stabilize the Head Start Workforce, OHS encourages grant recipients to consider restructuring their programs as a sustainable mechanism which may include consolidating grants, restructuring management or organizations, or requesting a reduction in the overall number of funded slots while continuing to prioritize services to the children and families who are most in need. OHS encourages programs to use their wage comparability study to help support their decisions. Log on to the FHSA website to download a copy of FHSA 2020 Compensation and Benefits Study Findings.
