Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Ouachita Parish, Louisiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0631) is a discretionary federal grant competition issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose of the funding is to select one organization to provide Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, as well as their families, specifically in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. The opportunity is focused on income security and social services and is designed to expand or ensure access to comprehensive early childhood and family support services for very young children in the designated community.
ACF anticipates making a single award, with an estimated annual funding amount of $894,832. The award ceiling is also listed as $894,832, meaning applicants should plan their program scope and budget around that maximum annual amount. The award floor is $0, which typically indicates there is no guaranteed minimum amount beyond what is ultimately awarded. The announcement also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect that some portion of program costs must be supported through non-federal resources, consistent with Head Start grant rules and the specific terms in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes both public and private entities, provided they meet program requirements. Eligible applicant types include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), private and public institutions of higher education, county and city or township governments, state governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The solicitation explicitly confirms that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible if they meet the standard eligibility requirements. At the same time, the notice makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement.
