Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R05 0418) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to select an Early Head Start grantee to serve families in seven southern Illinois counties: Alexander, Hardin, Johnson, Massac, Pope, Pulaski, and Union. The purpose is to fund organizations that will deliver comprehensive Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, along with supports for their families, across the listed service area.
ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement, with an estimated annual funding amount of $692,733. The award ceiling is also $692,733, and the award floor is listed as $0, meaning applicants should plan based on the stated maximum available funding rather than expecting a guaranteed minimum. The funding activity category is classified under Income Security and Social Services, and the relevant CFDA program number is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected grantee will be expected to meet applicable non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules and the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and private entities that can operate Early Head Start programming. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local government entities (including county governments, city or township governments, and independent school districts), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet program requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
The posting and creation date for the opportunity is April 19, 2012, with an original and current application closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012, indicating the competition period has closed, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope and requirements of the award and for reference in similar future announcements.
