Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Beaver County, Pennsylvania" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0527), is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose is to select a single grantee to deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers and to support their families in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The program falls under the broader category of income security and social services, reflecting its focus on early childhood development and family well-being.
ACF is making approximately $901,701 available each year to operate Early Head Start program services in the county, with an award ceiling equal to $901,701 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement, meaning applicants are competing to become the primary provider responsible for implementing Early Head Start in the service area. As with many Head Start and Early Head Start grants, there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect that some portion of total program costs must be covered through allowable non-federal contributions (often referred to as "non-federal share" or "match").
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that may be positioned to deliver comprehensive early childhood services. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), faith-based and community-based organizations that meet the program requirements, and certain for-profit organizations. Governmental entities such as county governments, city or township governments, state governments, and independent school districts may apply, as can public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Institutions of higher education, both private and public/state-controlled, are also eligible, and small businesses are listed among eligible applicant types as well. However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
The opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, and the application deadline was July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012, which indicates the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope, funding level, and eligibility rules that applied to this service area competition.
For those seeking more details or clarification about the Early Head Start competition and program expectations, ACF directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. If an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice also provided the ACF Applications Help Desk as a support channel at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
