Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Blanco, Caldwell, and Hays Counties, Texas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R06 0421), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to select a single grantee to provide Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, along with family-focused supports, for residents of Blanco, Caldwell, and Hays Counties in Texas. The program sits within the broader area of income security and social services and is intended to strengthen early childhood development outcomes while supporting parents and caregivers.
ACF makes available an estimated total of $2,391,336 per year to operate Early Head Start services in the target counties. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is also listed as $2,391,336, meaning the selected applicant could receive up to that amount annually depending on the final award and approved budget. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically reflects that there is no guaranteed minimum and that awards are dependent on the application review process and funding decisions. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should anticipate that they will need to meet a matching contribution obligation consistent with Head Start grant requirements and be prepared to document how that match will be met (for example through allowable in-kind contributions or other approved sources, depending on the final terms).
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include public entities and a range of private organizations. Specifically, eligible applicants include city or township governments, county governments, state governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The competition is also open to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement emphasizes that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements. At the same time, certain applicant types are explicitly not eligible, including individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships.
The official posting date for the opportunity was April 19, 2012, with the original and current application closing date set for July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer accepting applications, but the details remain useful for understanding the program scope and administrative expectations for similar Early Head Start competitions.
