It is funded through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start and the State Department of Health and Human Services. Grantees are expected to raise 20% of the cost of the program through local contributions of cash or in-kind goods and services. The federal program targets children living at or below the federal poverty rate but allows enrollment of children from other income levels under strict guidelines. At least 10% of children enrolled must have a diagnosed disability. The funded enrollment for the Head Start program is 141 children in center-based programs. Early Head Start is a program for infants and toddlers until age three and is also funded through the Federal office of ACF. Child and Family Opportunities receives its Early Head Start funding in two ways; under a sub-contract with Penquis CAP, Inc., a community action agency in Bangor and through a contract with the State of Maine. Eligibility guidelines are the same as the Federal Head Start program.
