53. APPLICATION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOR A NON-FEDERAL SHARE WAIVER FOR THE HEAD START/EARLY HEAD START GRANT Approve the submittal of an application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), Grant No. 09CH012079 for a Non-Federal Share Waiver. The Maricopa County Head Start program will request a reduction to the grant’s required Non-Federal Share (NFS). Also request authorization for the Chairman to sign the Application for Federal Assistance SF-424 to be submitted to OHS. The current Grant required NFS is $6,642,210, the Wavier application proposes to reduce the NSF by $4,649,547, if the reduction is approved the new NFS shall be $1,992,663. The reduced NFS is for the grant period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. If the application for this waiver is approved, the grant award will not be impacted and will remain at the current amount of $28,101,252 for the period of July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. Maricopa County was awarded the Head Start and Early Head Start Grant No. 09CH012079 for July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026 to provide quality and learning opportunities for infants, toddlers, and children, ages 0-5. The Head Start program identifies NFS through the valuation of donated goods, and facilities and services provided by parents and community volunteers. Factors that impacted the NFS collection include: The following relevant circumstances, as outlined in the Head Start Act Section 640(b) have affected the program's ability to collect the required full amount. • The Head Start agency is located in a community adversely affected by a major disaster. • During FY 23-24, the state of Arizona and Maricopa County continued to experience critical workforce shortages due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated challenges in the early care and education (ECE) sector, including pre-existing state-level shortages of qualified educators and the overall lack of access to high-quality care among low-income communities. • In response to local workforce shortages, Maricopa County increased staff wages, extended hiring incentives, and expanded its robust recruitment campaigns for children and educators. In addition, the program collaborated with local high schools and institutions of higher education to expand awareness of its employment opportunities. However, due to the competitive climate and overall lack of educators, the program struggled to fill teaching positions, creating barriers toward full enrollment that directly impacted the program's ability to generate volunteer hours. MCHSD did not meet enrollment expectations due to local and statewide shortages of teaching staff which reduced the number of families available to generate volunteer hours. This item does not have a financial impact. Supervisory District: All (C-22-22-174-X-15)

55. ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS FROM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOR HEAD START AND EARLY HEAD START PROGRAMS Approve the receipt of grant funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), Grant No. 09CH012079-05-00 for fiscal year 2026 (Budget Period), in the amount of $22,323,586.00 under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 93.600 for the delivery of Head Start and Early Head Start program services. The funding amounts are $13,284,098.00 for Head Start and $9,039,488.00 for Early Head Start program services and training and technical assistance. The Budget Period funding availability is July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The grant term (Project Period) is July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026. The Grant Award is recurring and requires a 20% non-federal share (NFS) match of the total approved project costs. The total County required NFS for FY2026 is $5,580,897.00. NFS is generated through in-kind donations of goods and services as well as parent volunteering. The total Federal and Non-Federal amount for the Budget Period is $27,904,483.00. The total Federal and Non-Federal amount for the Project Period is now $119,036,551.46. The Human Services Department indirect rate of 24.0% by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for FY2026 is for salaries and employee related expenses. The total Grant amount is $22,323,586.00 of which $12,113,999.00 is for salaries and ERE. The total estimated indirect costs are $2,907,360.00 and are fully recoverable and shall be effective July 1, 2025. This FY2026 Grant Award is non-competitive and awarded to the County because the County is a current Head Start program operator and recipient of Head Start funds. In April, the Head Start program submitted to OHS an application for Year 5/Fiscal year 2026 continuation funding. Receipt of the grant funds does not require future or ongoing contributions by the County at the end of the Project Period. The services provided under this grant are not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens by providing eligible children with high quality care and education by integrating Head Start performance measures. The approved Head Start enrollment is 715 for 3-to-5-year-old and the Early Head Start enrollment is 368 infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This Grant award does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The overall budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate the grant funding through a future reconciliation. Acceptance of the grant funds will not impact the County General Fund.
