Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Whatcom County, Washington" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R10-0447), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant designed to support the delivery of Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers, along with comprehensive support for their families, specifically targeting eligible residents of Whatcom County, Washington. The program sits within the broader Head Start initiative (CFDA 93.600) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, reflecting its focus on early childhood development and family well-being.
The announcement makes available an estimated total of $383,646 per year to operate Early Head Start programming in the county, with an award ceiling equal to the full amount listed. ACF anticipated making one award, meaning the competition was intended to select a single grantee to administer services for the designated service area. While the award floor is listed as $0, the practical intent is to fund one full-service grant up to the stated annual amount, subject to the applicant meeting program and budget requirements and demonstrating capacity to provide the required services.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined to encourage strong local competition and include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet federal eligibility rules, and certain for-profit agencies. Government entities are also eligible, including state, county, and city or township governments, as well as independent school districts and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Institutions of higher education may apply as well, both private and public/state-controlled. The notice is also open to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this opportunity.
A key compliance point is that the opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants would need to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start rules and the full funding announcement. Applicants would also be expected to meet the full set of Early Head Start performance standards and program requirements, which typically include delivering high-quality early learning experiences, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support services, and strong program management and governance structures appropriate for serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people when applicable.
The posting date and creation date for the opportunity were May 16, 2012. Applications were due by August 14, 2012, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, indicating the competition period has closed. For applicants seeking more information about the program or the service area competition, the announcement directs inquiries to the Office of Head Start Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
