The purpose of the funding is to support the delivery of Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers and to strengthen family supports for households living specifically in Waukegan Township within Lake County, Illinois. The program focus sits within the broader public service area of income security and social services, consistent with the Head Start mission of promoting healthy early development for children in low-income families through high-quality, comprehensive services.
ACF expects to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated annual funding amount of $975,790. The award ceiling is also listed as $975,790, indicating that the single award is expected to be funded at or up to that amount, while the award floor is $0, which is a standard listing that does not necessarily imply awards below the stated program need. The applicable CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee should be prepared to meet the required non-federal share expectations that typically accompany Head Start and Early Head Start awards, and should address this clearly in the application budget and supporting documentation.
The opportunity is open to a wide range of eligible applicant types, reflecting ACF's intent to attract capable local providers and partners. Eligible applicants include public entities such as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); small businesses; and for-profit organizations that are not classified as small businesses. The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the standard eligibility requirements. At the same time, certain entities are clearly excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this funding opportunity.
The core service requirement is to provide Early Head Start programming to eligible infants and toddlers and their families in the specified service area. While the summary text does not list detailed program design elements, the intent of Early Head Start funding is generally to support comprehensive early childhood development services, family engagement and support, and coordination that helps address the needs of very young children and their caregivers. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate they can operate (or oversee) a program that is responsive to community needs in Waukegan Township, has the organizational capacity to manage federal grant requirements, and can deliver high-quality services consistent with Early Head Start expectations.
