Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Brevard County, Florida is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is designed to select a new organization to take over and continue Early Head Start services in Brevard County after the prior grantee, Childcare Association of Brevard County, Inc., previously delivered those services. The overall purpose is continuity: keeping Early Head Start programming in place for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the same service area, rather than creating an entirely new initiative from scratch.
Funding available under this announcement totals $1,071,604 per year, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an award floor listed as $0. ACF anticipated making one award, meaning the competition is intended to identify a single replacement grantee to operate the full project in the county. The former grantee’s funded enrollment level was 120 infants and toddlers (and their families), which signals the approximate scale of services the new grantee would be expected to sustain, subject to the final approved application and federal requirements. The funding is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to document non-federal resources or allowable match contributions consistent with Head Start rules and the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad across multiple types of entities as long as they meet the program and legal requirements. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), faith-based and community organizations that otherwise qualify, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses as specifically listed), and various governmental and education-related entities 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. The announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this opportunity.
From an applicant’s perspective, this is a time-sensitive replacement-grantee competition with a defined service area (Brevard County) and a clear program focus (Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers and family support). The original and current closing date shown for the competition was July 12, 2011, with a specific electronic submission cutoff time: applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be filed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The posting date was May 12, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, indicating this particular solicitation is historical rather than currently open. The Funding Opportunity Number is HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0245, and the opportunity is categorized as a grant under a discretionary program.
Applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and further guidance by contacting the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and the same pre-application materials were also made available through www.headstartgrants.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provided the Applications Help Desk contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement link was hosted on the ACF grants site under the same funding opportunity number, which would include the detailed program expectations, required application components, allowable costs, matching requirements, reporting obligations, and other federal Head Start performance and administrative standards.
