Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for the Cities of Cleveland and East Cleveland in Cuyahoga County, Ohio 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 Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose of the funding is to support organizations that will deliver Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers and their families who live specifically within Cleveland and East Cleveland. In practical terms, applicants are expected to operate an Early Head Start program that provides comprehensive early childhood development and family support services for very young children (birth to age 3) and to engage parents and caregivers as central participants in the program.
ACF anticipates making one award through this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding level of $1,415,321. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,415,321, indicating the agency expects the single successful applicant to receive up to that amount per year to provide the required services. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically reflects that smaller requests may be allowable depending on the proposed service plan, but the key point is that the available funding is targeted toward establishing or operating Early Head Start services at scale for the designated service area. This opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant should expect to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start program rules and the terms described in the full funding announcement.
A wide range of domestic entities are eligible to apply, as long as they meet the program and grant eligibility rules. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the requirements, and for-profit agencies operating in the community. Government entities such as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, tribal governments (federally recognized), and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education are also listed as eligible. Small businesses and other for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses) are included as eligible applicant types as well. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this funding opportunity.
Key dates included in the source notice show the funding opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application due date (closing date) of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, indicating the competitive window for that specific posting has closed, though the summary still reflects the structure and requirements of the original solicitation.
