Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Genesee County, Michigan" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0398), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to fund organizations that will deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers and support their families. The service area is Genesee County, Michigan, with a specific geographic limitation: services funded under this award are meant for eligible families living in Genesee County except those residing in the Bendle and Carman-Ainsworth school districts.
The program focus is Early Head Start, which falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and the broader activity area of income security and social services. The purpose is to operate comprehensive Early Head Start programming for eligible children from birth to age three and to provide family-centered supports. While the notice does not list specific program models in the excerpt provided, Early Head Start funding generally supports early learning and development, health and developmental screenings, family engagement, and connections to community resources, delivered through center-based, home-based, or other approved service options depending on the applicant's proposed approach and local needs.
ACF anticipated making up to two awards under this funding announcement. The estimated total funding amount available is $3,799,464 per year, and the award ceiling is also listed as $3,799,464, meaning a single applicant could potentially be funded up to that amount depending on how awards are structured. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that there is no guaranteed minimum award size and that funding decisions may vary based on the applications received and the agency's determinations. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to document and commit to meeting applicable non-federal share requirements as part of their application.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and private entities. Eligible applicant types listed include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), city or township governments, county governments, state governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community-based organizations that meet the standard eligibility requirements are eligible to apply. At the same time, the notice excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards.
Key dates in the posting show it was originally posted on May 16, 2012 (with a creation date of May 24, 2012). The application deadline (original and current closing date) was August 14, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, reflecting that it is no longer open for new applications under that specific cycle.
