Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start, offered this discretionary grant opportunity to select a single grantee to operate Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families in Barry, Calhoun, and St. Joseph Counties in Michigan. The purpose is to fund comprehensive Early Head Start programming for eligible children ages birth to three and to support their families, consistent with Head Start performance standards and Early Head Start service requirements. The opportunity is tied to the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) and falls under the broader public service area of income security and social services.
Funding under this announcement was set at an estimated total of $1,197,770 per year, with an award ceiling of $1,197,770 and no stated award floor. ACF anticipated making one award, meaning applicants were competing to become the sole Early Head Start provider under this specific funding opportunity for the identified Michigan counties. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so an applicant would need to be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations as required under Head Start rules and the specific notice of funding opportunity.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations and governments that could operate an Early Head Start program. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed as eligible, and small businesses are also listed, indicating for-profit entities could apply). Government and public entities were also eligible, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Institutions of higher education, both public and private, were also listed as eligible. The announcement clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing or receiving awards.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an application deadline of July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically had to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
