Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to select a replacement provider for Early Head Start services in Delaware County, Indiana. This competition is intended to keep Early Head Start services in place following the former grantee, Action Inc. of Delaware County, and to ensure that eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the county continue receiving comprehensive Head Start program supports. The opportunity is framed as a continuation of an existing service footprint rather than the creation of a brand-new initiative, with the expectation that the new awardee can operate at a scale and quality comparable to what was previously funded.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0253, listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). ACF anticipates making one award for this service area. Estimated total funding is $649,336 per year, and the award ceiling is also $649,336 (with an award floor of $0). The prior program served a funded enrollment of 48 infants and toddlers and their families, which signals the approximate level of capacity applicants should be prepared to support. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding instrument type is a grant. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to document and meet non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility requirements, federally recognized tribal governments, state and local governments (including county, city, or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply under this announcement. Overall, ACF is casting a broad net to identify an organization capable of delivering Early Head Start services locally, as long as the applicant meets federal eligibility and program requirements.
Key dates show the announcement was posted May 13, 2011, with an application deadline of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, submissions had to be completed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement was later archived on December 23, 2011, which indicates it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope and expectations of the funded work.
ACF directed interested applicants to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and noted that materials were also available at www.headstartgrants.org.
