Keep Head Start Funded Act of 2025

This bill would provide money for Head Start programs during any part of fiscal year 2026 when regular or temporary federal funding is not in place. Head Start projects and activities that ran in fiscal year 2025 would continue under the same rules used for that year's funding. The funding would end when Congress passes new Head Start funding, passes a Health and Human Services funding law without it, or on September 30, 2026, whichever comes first. Money spent under the bill would be counted against the later funding law, and the bill would take effect as if passed on September 30, 2025.
