Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grant for Brooklyn, New York is a competitive federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It is designed to fund Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families living specifically in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn, serving zip codes 11201 and 11205. The purpose is not to create a brand-new program footprint, but to continue Early Head Start services in this neighborhood after the former grantee, Brooklyn Child and Family Services, Inc., stopped operating the grant. In practical terms, the award is meant to keep local Early Head Start slots and comprehensive services available to eligible families in the same service area.
Funding under this announcement is available at an estimated annual level of $1,789,209, with an award ceiling of $1,789,209 and an award floor of $0, and ACF anticipates making one award. The prior program served a funded enrollment of 120 infants and toddlers and their families, so applicants are essentially competing to take over and operate services at a similar scale, consistent with Early Head Start performance standards and expectations around comprehensive, family-centered support. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the activity category is listed under Income Security and Social Services. The applicable CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning an applicant should be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements as outlined in the full announcement and Head Start regulations.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations that meet federal eligibility requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), along with various government entities such as city/township, county, and state governments. It also lists multiple higher education categories and tribal governments and tribal organizations. However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this opportunity.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0239 and the title "Early Head Start Replacement Grant - Brooklyn, New York." The opportunity was posted May 13, 2011, and the application due date (closing date) was July 12, 2011, with a firm electronic submission deadline of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time for applications submitted through Grants.gov. The opportunity is archived (archive date December 23, 2011), which indicates it is no longer open, but the listing provides a snapshot of requirements and process used for that competition.
Prospective applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and materials were also made available via www.headstartgrants.org.
