Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - City of Mesquite, within Dallas and Kaufman Counties, Texas," is a discretionary federal funding announcement released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The purpose is to fund an organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and their families who live in the City of Mesquite, located within Dallas and Kaufman Counties, Texas. Early Head Start is part of the broader Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) and focuses on early childhood development, family support, and services that promote healthy outcomes for very young children and expectant families, particularly those with low incomes.
ACF anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an annual funding amount of $892,706. The funding amount is presented as both the award floor and award ceiling, meaning the expected annual award size was fixed at $892,706 for the selected grantee. The opportunity uses the federal "Grant" funding instrument type and falls under the funding activity category of "Income Security and Social Services." A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start grant rules and the specific requirements described in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility was broad and included a mix of public and private entities. Eligible applicants included public and private non-profit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status as well as certain non-profits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet the requirements, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, but small businesses are also listed as eligible), institutions of higher education (public, private, and state-controlled), and various governmental entities such as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments were also listed as eligible. At the same time, the announcement clearly stated that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition. Faith-based organizations were specifically noted as eligible and were directed to consult ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
Key dates for the competition show that the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013. The application deadline was October 21, 2013, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013, indicating it is no longer active.
