Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically under the Office of Head Start, to select a replacement provider for Early Head Start services in parts of Los Angeles County. The service area covered by the grant includes Compton, Lynwood, Paramount, and South Los Angeles, California. The purpose is not to start a brand-new initiative from scratch, but to keep Early Head Start services going in this community after the prior grantee, Charles Drew University of Los Angeles, previously operated the program.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $881,190. The award ceiling is also listed as $881,190, meaning the program is essentially offering up to that amount per year for the selected applicant to operate Early Head Start in the designated area. The former grantee served a funded enrollment of 68 infants and toddlers and their families, so applicants should be prepared to demonstrate how they will provide comprehensive Early Head Start services at roughly that scale (or at least address continuity for a similar level of enrollment) and meet all Head Start Program Performance Standards and related requirements that apply to Early Head Start.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start) and falls within the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category. It is a grant funding instrument, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be ready to account for any non-federal share expectations described in the full announcement and Head Start rules. While the summary text highlights nonprofits and faith-based organizations, eligibility is broader and includes a mix of public and private entities: state and local governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly stated as eligible if they meet program requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted May 12, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date, which is an important compliance detail because late submissions typically are not accepted in federal competitions. The listing also shows an archive date of December 23, 2011, reflecting that this was a time-limited competition tied to replacing a specific grantee in a defined service area.
Applicants were instructed 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 through www.headstartgrants.org. For technical problems accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
