A – 049 Can a Head Start program use as in-kind the costs incurred by parents in transporting their children, who are enrolled in a home-based option, to socialization activities?
Yes. As discussed at Head Start regulation 45 CFR Part 1310.2(a), home-based programs are excluded from meeting the vehicle requirements of 45 CFR Part 1310.12(a). Therefore, children in home-based programs may be transported in vehicles other than a school bus or allowable alternate vehicle and the costs incurred by parents in transporting their children to socialization activities may be counted as non-federal share.
