Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Pinellas County, Florida 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 Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to fund organizations that can deliver Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers (generally prenatal through age 3) and their families who live in Pinellas County. The announcement emphasizes direct, community level service delivery, meaning applicants are expected to operate an Early Head Start program that meets federal Head Start Program Performance Standards and provides comprehensive early childhood development and family support services.
Funding available under this notice is estimated at $2,119,673 per year, and the award ceiling is also listed as $2,119,673 (with an award floor of $0). ACF anticipated making up to two awards, which suggests that one or more applicants could be selected to cover all or portions of the service area depending on the applications received and ACFs program decisions. As a grant program in the Income Security and Social Services category, the funding is intended to support ongoing program operations rather than one time construction or isolated pilot activities, with the expectation that funded services will be delivered consistently across the program year to eligible children and families.
Eligible applicants are broad and include many types of entities that operate human services or early childhood programs. Public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community based organizations, and faith based organizations are explicitly included as eligible as long as they meet the standard federal eligibility requirements. The announcement also allows certain for profit organizations to apply (other than small businesses being a distinct listed category), and it lists multiple levels of government and public entities as eligible, such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and public and state controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) are also included. In contrast, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this specific funding opportunity.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to contribute non federal share consistent with Head Start rules (often met through allowable in kind contributions, third party support, or other approved sources). Applicants typically need to document how they will meet that requirement, track it properly, and ensure it complies with federal guidance. This is an important planning point because it affects budgeting, partnerships, documentation systems, and the organizations ability to sustain compliant operations.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0557, and the opportunity was posted 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 listing shows an archive date of August 15, 2012, indicating this specific competition is historical, but the summary still reflects the structure and requirements ACF used for that round of Early Head Start funding in Pinellas County.
For applicants seeking more details during the competition period, ACF directed interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the point of contact was the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
