Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Bronx County, New York" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0529), 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 goal is to select a single grantee to deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants, toddlers, and their families living in Bronx County, New York. Early Head Start focuses on comprehensive early childhood development and family support for children from birth to age three, typically emphasizing high-quality early learning environments, health and developmental screenings, family engagement, and connections to community resources.
The announcement notes a modification to the original timeline: the application due date was changed to Monday, August 19, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was posted on June 4, 2013, with a creation date of June 5, 2013, and it was archived on September 18, 2013. While the original closing date is listed as August 18, 2013, the controlling deadline for applicants became August 19, 2013 due to the modification.
Funding is listed as an annual amount of $1,296,543 to support Early Head Start program services in the Bronx. The estimated total funding matches this amount, and the award ceiling is also $1,296,543, indicating the grant is structured as a single award up to that figure. The award floor is shown as $0, which generally reflects that there is no guaranteed minimum award amount in the abstract listing, although the intent here is clearly to fund one grantee at or near the annual program amount. The expected number of awards is 1, meaning ACF anticipated selecting one organization to operate the services for the defined service area.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants were expected to meet Head Start cost principles related to non-federal share (often referred to as match), consistent with program rules. This typically involves documenting allowable contributions that support the program, which can include certain in-kind contributions, donated goods or services, or other qualifying non-federal resources, depending on the detailed requirements in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes both public and private entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including city/township and county governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly included as eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The administering agency is ACF, and the funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's emphasis on supporting vulnerable families through comprehensive early childhood and family services. Organizations considering applying were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center for additional information via DRS@headstartinfo.org.
