Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Huntsville and the surrounding area is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It seeks one organization to deliver Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families living in Huntsville, Madison County, and Limestone County, Alabama. The purpose is to fund comprehensive early childhood and family support services for eligible low-income families with children from birth to age three, consistent with Early Head Start program requirements.
Funding under this announcement is structured as an annual award of $384,375 to operate the local Early Head Start program, with an estimated total funding amount of $774,285 reflected for the overall project period referenced in the notice. The expected number of awards is one, meaning applicants are competing to become the single grantee serving the defined service area. The award ceiling is listed as $774,285, while the award floor is $0, indicating there is no minimum award amount guaranteed, but the funding levels described in the announcement give a clear sense of the intended scale. Cost sharing or matching is required, which generally means the selected grantee must contribute non-federal resources to meet Head Start matching requirements (often fulfilled through a combination of cash and approved in-kind contributions, depending on the specific terms in the full announcement).
A wide range of entity types may apply, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet eligibility rules, and for-profit agencies operating within the community. Government entities such as city or township governments, county governments, and state governments are eligible, as are public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities. Educational institutions, including public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, as well as independent school districts, may also apply. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are included among eligible applicants. The opportunity explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing or receiving an award under this announcement.
The program is categorized under the funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive application process rather than by formula. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0450, and the official title is Early Head Start Grantee - Huntsville, Madison, and Limestone Counties, Alabama.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an application deadline of August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
