Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS 2011 ACF OHS CH R02 0240) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intended to select a single replacement grantee to operate Early Head Start services in the Puerto Rico municipalities of Canovanas, Loiza, Trujillo Alto, Juncos, and Las Piedras. The core purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking a new organization to keep Early Head Start services running in this service area at a level comparable to what was previously delivered by the former grantee, Aspira de Puerto Rico. The funded program is expected to serve eligible infants and toddlers and to support their families, consistent with the Early Head Start model and Head Start Act requirements.
The announcement indicates an estimated annual funding level of $3,385,790, with an award ceiling equal to that same amount and an award floor listed as $0. Only one award is expected. The prior funded enrollment level for the service area was 295 infants, toddlers, and their families, which effectively signals the scale of services ACF anticipates continuing under the replacement grantee. The funding is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to document and budget the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and the specific instructions in the full announcement.
A broad range of applicant types may compete, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements, certain government entities (state, county, city/township), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and institutions of higher education (public or private). For-profit organizations other than small businesses are also listed as eligible. At the same time, the notice is explicit that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this opportunity.
The application deadline for this competition was July 12, 2011, and electronic submissions through Grants.gov were required no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The posting date was May 13, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived (archive date December 23, 2011), which indicates it is not an active, open competition now but remains available as a historical funding record and reference. For organizations that needed preparatory guidance at the time, ACF directed interested applicants to obtain pre-application materials by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and also noted that pre-application materials were available through www.headstartgrants.org.
For further details, the announcement provided an additional information link hosted by ACF, and it also listed technical support contacts for accessing the full announcement electronically through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted replacement-grantee competition designed to maintain Early Head Start capacity for a defined geographic service area in Puerto Rico at approximately the previously funded enrollment level, using a single annual grant award of about $3.39 million with applicable matching requirements.
