Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Jackson, Clay, and Platte Counties, Missouri" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0437), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) focused on income security and social services, and it invites organizations to compete to deliver Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families living in Jackson, Clay, and Platte Counties in Missouri. The core purpose is to fund local providers that can operate an Early Head Start program meeting federal Head Start requirements and providing comprehensive early childhood and family support services to eligible families with very young children.
ACF indicates that an estimated total of $4,681,984 per year is available for this service area, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount and an award floor of $0. The announcement anticipates making up to three awards, meaning the funding could be divided among multiple grantees depending on how ACF decides to structure awards and select applicants. Like many Head Start opportunities, this funding includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect to document how they will meet the required non-federal share (typically through allowable cash or in-kind contributions, depending on program rules and the specific terms in the full announcement).
A wide range of applicants are eligible to apply, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements, and certain for-profit agencies. Governmental entities may also apply, such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts. Institutions of higher education (both public and private) are listed as eligible, as are federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Small businesses are listed as eligible as well, alongside other for-profit organizations, although applicants should still ensure they can meet all Early Head Start performance standards, governance expectations, and fiscal accountability requirements. The announcement clearly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this opportunity.
Key dates included in the source data show the opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application deadline of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, which indicates the listing is now historical, but the details remain useful as a reference point for similar ACF Early Head Start competitions and expectations.
For applicants seeking more detail about the program, service area expectations, or application requirements, the opportunity points to an additional information link hosted by ACF and provides contacts for support. Program-related questions can be directed to the Office of Head Start Operations Center via DRS@headstartinfo.org.
