Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0431) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single grantee to deliver Early Head Start services in a specific service area in north-central Kansas: Clay, Cloud, Ottawa, Republic, and Washington Counties. The purpose is to fund an organization that can operate an Early Head Start program focused on comprehensive services for eligible infants and toddlers and their families, consistent with the Head Start/Early Head Start model and requirements under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The grant is intended to support early childhood development and family support services for very young children in these counties, with an emphasis on serving families who meet Early Head Start eligibility criteria.
The available funding is estimated at $450,791 per year, with the same amount listed as the award ceiling, and an award floor of $0. ACF anticipates making one award, meaning the competition is designed to select one organization to serve as the Early Head Start grantee for the area. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, which aligns with the program's role in supporting low-income families through early childhood and family-centered services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document and meet non-federal share expectations as required for Head Start/Early Head Start grants.
Eligibility is broad across many entity types, reflecting ACF's intent to attract capable local providers and partners. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet program eligibility requirements, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses and also including small businesses as a separate eligible category), as well as various government entities such as state, county, city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled) are also listed as eligible. However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The announcement was posted and created on May 16, 2012. The application closing date was August 14, 2012, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on that date. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, but the summary details remain useful for understanding what ACF sought in a grantee for this region and for tracking historical award competitions.
For prospective applicants at the time, ACF provided support channels for both program and technical questions. Organizations could request additional information by emailing the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For applicants needing assistance accessing the announcement or handling submission issues, the ACF Applications Help Desk was available at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
