Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Replacement Grantee - DuPage County, Illinois" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0251), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to select a single replacement provider to continue delivering Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families in DuPage County, Illinois. The competition is specifically designed to maintain continuity of services that were previously operated by the former grantee, Lifelink Corporation, rather than to launch an entirely new initiative or expand into a new service model.
The program funding available is $1,066,169 per year, with the same figure listed as the award ceiling, and an award floor of $0. Only one award was expected. The former grantee operated the program at a funded enrollment level of 100 infants and toddlers (and their families), and applicants were expected to propose services consistent with supporting that scale of enrollment and meeting Early Head Start performance expectations. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing is CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet the applicable non-federal share requirements associated with Head Start/Early Head Start awards.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, such as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. For-profit organizations (other than small businesses) are also listed as eligible. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly stated as eligible as long as they meet the standard program eligibility requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The application timeline reflects that the opportunity was posted on May 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the deadline was no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The record indicates an archive date of December 23, 2011. 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 the same materials were also made available through www.headstartgrants.org. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the ACF Applications Help Desk was provided as a point of contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted replacement-grantee competition: ACF sought one capable organization to take over and sustain Early Head Start services in DuPage County at an established enrollment level, using an annual federal funding amount slightly over $1.06 million, while meeting all relevant Head Start/Early Head Start requirements, including the required match.
