Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - City of Minneapolis within Hennepin County, Minnesota" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0346), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600).
