The Head Start Act and the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act allow American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) Head Start grant recipients and Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Lead Agencies to use federal funds to construct or improve early childhood facilities.

The Office of Child Care, Office of Early Childhood Development, and the Office of Head Start published a joint Information Memorandum that details ways that ACF's early childhood funds may be used to connect young children and families with traditional Indigenous foods and food practices, including CCDF, AIAN Head Start, and Tribal MIECHV.
