Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one replacement grantee to operate Early Head Start services in five municipalities in Puerto Rico: Luquillo, Naguabo, Ceiba, Rio Grande, and Fajardo. The goal is continuity of Early Head Start programming in the service area that had previously been served by the former grantee, Aspira de Puerto Rico, so families do not lose access to infant and toddler early childhood supports.
ACF is making approximately $2,063,110 available each year for the selected awardee to deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants and toddlers and their families. The prior program level for this service area was a total funded enrollment of 180 children (infants and toddlers) and their families, which effectively signals the expected scale of services the replacement grantee should be prepared to maintain. The funding announcement lists an award ceiling equal to the estimated total annual funding amount ($2,063,110), with an award floor of $0, and anticipates making a single award.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0241, under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with the funding activity category described as Income Security and Social Services. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the posting date was May 13, 2011, with an application due date (closing date) of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the notice emphasizes that electronic submissions must be completed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private entities, with explicit inclusion of public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that meet requirements) and for-profit organizations. The eligible applicant types listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education). The announcement also clearly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this competition.
Applicants should also plan for a cost sharing or matching requirement, because the notice indicates that matching is required. The specific matching rules, amounts, and any allowable waivers or exceptions would be detailed in the full announcement and related Head Start program guidance, so any applicant would need to confirm what portion must be contributed and what costs qualify.
To obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance specific to this service area, interested applicants are instructed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The same pre-application materials are also available online at www.headstartgrants.org.
