Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Barrow, Green, and Morgan Counties, Georgia" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0407), was published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Its purpose is to fund a single organization to take over and continue Early Head Start services in Barrow, Greene, and Morgan Counties, Georgia, following the prior delivery of services by the former grantee, Action Inc. The announcement is essentially a replacement-grantee competition designed to avoid a gap in services and maintain continuity for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the local area.
ACF expected to make one award under this competition, with estimated total funding and an annual award ceiling of $846,194. The funded program is intended to support Early Head Start operations comparable to what previously existed, including serving a formerly funded enrollment level of 76 children and families. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet any non-federal share requirements described in the full announcement and Head Start/Early Head Start program rules.
Eligibility is focused on organizations rooted in, or able to effectively serve, the specific Georgia counties named in the announcement. ACF states that eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) and local for-profit organizations located in or serving the community. The listing of potentially eligible applicant types is broad and includes entities such as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), county and city governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, special district governments, certain higher education institutions, small businesses, and federally recognized tribal governments, among others. At the same time, the announcement emphasizes a key limiting factor: the applicant must be capable of providing Early Head Start services to children and families residing specifically in Barrow, Greene, and Morgan Counties, Georgia. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
ACF also invited public input from parents and residents within the service area. These comments are meant to help ACF understand community needs generally, not to campaign for or against any particular applicant. The notice directs commenters to submit input to the ACYF Operations Center, the same hub applicants are told to contact for pre-application materials and further guidance.
Key administrative dates included a posted date of April 18, 2008, and an application closing date of June 16, 2008, with the reminder that electronic submissions through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on July 16, 2008.
