Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), aimed at selecting a single grantee to operate Early Head Start services in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey. The purpose is to fund high-quality early childhood programming and family support services for eligible infants and toddlers, along with services that engage and support their families. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services, reflecting its focus on strengthening early development outcomes and helping families access needed supports during a critical period of child development.
The announcement makes approximately $978,615 available each year to support Early Head Start program operations in the target area. The expected number of awards is one, meaning ACF intends to fund a single organization to serve the defined geographic service area. The award ceiling is listed as $978,615, with no stated award floor. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect that the award will need to be paired with non-federal resources consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules and the specific terms in the full announcement.
A wide range of entity types are eligible to apply, as long as they meet federal eligibility requirements. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, and small businesses are also listed as eligible). Public entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and institutions of higher education (both public and private) are also eligible. The announcement is equally clear about who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this opportunity.
Key dates and submission requirements are straightforward. The opportunity was posted May 16, 2012, with an application deadline of August 14, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing shows an archive date of August 15, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference point for similar Early Head Start competitions or for understanding how ACF structures these service-area grants.
