Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Bronx and New York Counties, New York," is a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The purpose is to fund organizations that can deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants and toddlers, as well as comprehensive supports for their families, specifically in Bronx County and New York County (Manhattan), New York. The program falls under the broad public service category of income security and social services and is tied to the Head Start program authority (CFDA 93.600).
ACF anticipates making up to two awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available is $1,841,948 annually, and the award ceiling is also $1,841,948, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). In practical terms, this indicates that one applicant could potentially be funded up to the full amount, or the funds could be split across two grantees depending on the applications received, the proposed service areas, and ACF funding decisions. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should plan for some level of non-federal contribution consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start grant rules and the specific requirements described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities capable of operating an Early Head Start program. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements. For-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses and also small businesses) may also apply, along with a wide range of government entities such as city/township, county, and state governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Public and Indian housing authorities and independent school districts are eligible, as are public and private institutions of higher education. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes certain applicants: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards.
Key dates show this was a time-limited competition posted on April 19, 2012, with an application deadline of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.

The programmatic focus is on delivering Early Head Start services, which typically means high-quality early childhood development and family support services for pregnant people and children from birth to age three, with an emphasis on serving low-income families and meeting Head Start Program Performance Standards. While the short description does not list specific service models, Early Head Start grants commonly support center-based, home-based, and/or family child care options, combined with health, developmental screening, family engagement, and referral partnerships tailored to local needs. Applicants would be expected to demonstrate how they will recruit and enroll eligible families in Bronx and New York Counties, maintain quality staffing and governance, coordinate with community partners, and track outcomes in line with federal expectations for Early Head Start.
