Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee - Lake County, Ohio funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0344) was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose of the competition was to select one organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families living in Lake County, Ohio. Early Head Start generally focuses on promoting healthy prenatal outcomes, supporting strong parent-child relationships, and improving early learning and development outcomes for children from low-income families through comprehensive services (such as early education, family support, and health-related coordination).
ACF expected to make a single award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $684,413. The award ceiling matched the estimated total funding ($684,413), indicating the grant was designed around one provider operating the full service area for that amount. The award floor was listed as $0, which is common in notices but does not imply awards could realistically be that low; it usually reflects administrative listing practices rather than an intended minimal award size.
Eligible applicants were broad and included many types of entities that could plausibly run an Early Head Start program: public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the requirements, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses were explicitly listed, but small businesses were also listed separately as eligible), public housing authorities, school districts, institutions of higher education (public/state-controlled and private), and various levels of government (county, city/township, state), as well as federally recognized tribal governments. The eligibility section also made clear who could not apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations were not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this announcement. The funding announcement also indicated there was a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet match requirements consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start grant rules.
The opportunity 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. The archive date was August 15, 2012, reflecting that the competition is no longer open. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services, aligning with Head Start's role as a federally funded, comprehensive early childhood and family support program.
For prospective applicants (at the time), ACF provided points of contact for both program and technical assistance. Organizations seeking additional information about the program competition were directed to email the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. Applicants having trouble accessing the full announcement were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The announcement also referenced an additional information link on the ACF grants site (as listed in the source data) for full details on program expectations, application requirements, and submission instructions.
