Established in 1981, the Head
Start Sponsoring Board Council of the City of New York ("HSSBC," or the "Council")
is the middle source between the City of New York's receivers of
federal Head Start dollars and approximately 74 delegate agencies
which operate over 200 Head Start direct service centers throughout
the five boroughs. Any agency receiving Head Start funds from the
New York City Administration of Children's Services are automatically
members of HSSBC. The Council is a membership organization with 2,500
unionized and 500 management (non-unionized) employees.
The Council is a federal non-profit tax exempt organization under the I.R.S. 501(c)(3) code. It is tax exempt under the laws of New York State.
