Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0441) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Early Head Start services in Contra Costa County, California. The goal is to fund high-quality Early Head Start programming for eligible infants and toddlers and to provide supports for their families, consistent with the Head Start program mission and requirements. The assistance listing is under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services.
ACF indicates an estimated total of $4,362,650 per year is available for this local service area to deliver Early Head Start program services. The award ceiling is also listed as $4,362,650, with an award floor of $0, and ACF anticipated making 2 awards, meaning the agency expected that funding could be split among two grantees depending on the applications received and the service approach proposed. The funding instrument type is a grant, and applicants should expect standard federal grant compliance obligations associated with Head Start and Early Head Start operations, including program performance requirements, reporting, and oversight.
Eligibility is broad, allowing a range of entity types to apply, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), faith-based and community-based organizations that meet federal eligibility requirements, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses), local governments (city/township, county), state governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, institutions of higher education (public, private, and state-controlled), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity. The listing also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to plan for and document the required non-federal share according to Head Start rules and the specific terms in the full announcement.
The application timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application due date of July 18, 2012. For electronic submissions, applications had to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The record shows an archive date of July 19, 2012, indicating the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding what ACF funded and how the competition was structured.
