The Office of the Regional Administrator is located in Kansas City and is responsible
for the Administration's key national goals and priorities in
the four state area. The Regional Administrator (RA) provides
executive leadership and direction to state, county, city, territorial
and tribal governments, as well as to other public and private
local grantees to ensure effective and efficient program and financial
management. The operational side of the ACF emergency human services
response system is also housed in the Regional Office under the
direction of the RA.

Head Start, TANF, Child Care and Child Support Enforcement, Developmental
Disabilities, Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs and Tribal programs.
Each program is headed by a Regional Program Manager who reports
to their national counterpart.
