Opportunity Summary:

The Early Head Start Grantee - South Los Angeles, California funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0759) is a discretionary federal grant competition administered 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 select a single grantee to deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers, as well as services for pregnant women and their families, specifically targeting eligible residents in South Los Angeles, California. The program is positioned within the broader federal activity category of Income Security and Social Services, reflecting its role in strengthening early development outcomes and family stability for low-income households through comprehensive early childhood and family support services.

The award is structured as one expected grant, with an annual funding amount set at 1,621,721 dollars. The notice lists the award ceiling and floor as the same amount, meaning the grant is essentially fixed at 1,621,721 dollars per year for the selected applicant, rather than a range of possible award sizes. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the eventual grantee must be prepared to meet the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start grant rules. The funding instrument type is a grant, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities that can operate Early Head Start, such as nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, for-profit organizations, small businesses, institutions of higher education, and various government entities (city/township, county, state, independent school districts), as well as public housing authorities and federally recognized tribal governments. The announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply. Faith-based organizations are explicitly included and encouraged to review ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations, which outlines how such organizations can compete for and administer federal funds while complying with applicable rules.

Key dates in the announcement include a posted date of July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013, and an archive date of November 20, 2013. While the opportunity is archived, the details remain useful as a snapshot of ACFs competitive process for selecting an Early Head Start provider for a specific service area, including the scale of funding and the categories of eligible applicants.
