Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - York County, Pennsylvania" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R03 0369), was issued 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 intended to fund one organization to deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants, toddlers, and their families living in York County, Pennsylvania. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services.
ACF made an estimated total of $1,393,713 available annually for this project, with an award ceiling of $1,393,713 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The announcement anticipated a single award, meaning applicants were competing to become the designated Early Head Start grantee for the service area. The opportunity also noted a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules and the specific requirements laid out in the full notice.
Eligibility was broad across multiple organization types, reflecting the intent to attract capable local providers. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, and for-profit agencies operating in the community. Various government entities and education-related institutions were also listed as eligible, such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the notice clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from applying or receiving an award under this announcement.
The key purpose of the funding was to support the direct provision of Early Head Start programming for very young children and their families, which typically includes comprehensive child development services, family support, health and developmental screenings, and other wraparound services required under Early Head Start performance standards. While the summary does not list specific program options or enrollment targets, the grant’s intent was to ensure accessible, high-quality Early Head Start services for eligible York County families through a competitively selected provider.
Important dates for the competition were as follows: the opportunity was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an application due date of August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
