Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee - Peoria County, Illinois funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R05 0410) 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. The purpose is to award funds to an organization that will deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants and toddlers, along with comprehensive supports for their families, specifically for residents of Peoria County, Illinois. The award supports the typical Early Head Start focus on early childhood development and family well-being, and it falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start.
ACF anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total annual funding available was $1,205,098, and the award ceiling was also $1,205,098, meaning the top award amount was essentially set at that annual figure. The award floor was listed as $0, which generally indicates there is no minimum amount guaranteed and that awards are based on eligibility, application quality, and program design within the limits of available funds. This opportunity also included a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants needed to be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations that come with Head Start and Early Head Start funding.
Eligibility was broad but specific. ACF invited applications from public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements. For-profit agencies could also apply, as could various government entities (such as county governments, city or township governments, and state governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and eligible higher education institutions (both private and public/state-controlled). Small businesses were also listed among eligible applicant types. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietor organizations from competing for or receiving an award.
The posting date for the opportunity was April 19, 2012, with the original and current closing date listed as July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was July 19, 2012, reflecting that the solicitation is no longer open but remains available for reference.
For applicants looking for more details on program expectations or how to compete, the announcement directed interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
