Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee - Brevard County, Florida opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0942) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. Its purpose is to select one organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, pregnant women, and their families living in Brevard County, Florida. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), meaning it is part of the established Head Start/Early Head Start system with all of the related performance expectations and accountability requirements.
Funding is set at an estimated total of $1,093,008 per year, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $1,093,008, which signals ACF intended a single award at a fixed annual level rather than a wide range of possible budgets. Only one award was expected. The announcement notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to meet non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules (for example, demonstrating how the organization would secure and document allowable in-kind or cash contributions as required by the program).
A wide range of entities were eligible to apply, including public and private nonprofits (including faith-based and community-based organizations), state and local governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments that are federally recognized, private and public institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits). At the same time, the eligibility rules clearly excluded applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities; those submissions would be disqualified from competitive review and would not be considered for funding under this announcement.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited competition. The opportunity was posted and created on September 24, 2014, with an application due date of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on December 24, 2014, which generally means the active competition window had closed.
For applicants needing more information about the Early Head Start competition itself, the announcement directs inquiries to the Office of Head Start Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or the electronic application process, applicants were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
