Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Municipality of San Sebastian, Puerto Rico" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0114), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to select a new grantee to continue Early Head Start services previously provided by the former grantee, the Municipality of San Sebastian. The funded program is meant to serve pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and their families living specifically in the Municipalities of San Sebastian and Moca, Puerto Rico, ensuring that families in the area do not lose access to Early Head Start supports due to a change in provider.
ACF expected to make one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding and annual award ceiling are both listed as $585,189, with an award floor of $0, indicating that the full amount is tied to the single anticipated grant. The prior program level in the community was funded for a total enrollment of 60 participants (infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and their families), and applicants should plan to deliver Early Head Start services consistent with that scale and with all applicable Early Head Start performance standards and requirements.
Eligibility is focused on organizations that can directly operate Early Head Start services locally for the target municipalities. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations, provided they can deliver the required services in San Sebastian and Moca. The broader eligible applicant categories listed in the notice include various levels of government (state, county, city/township), certain education institutions, public housing authorities, tribal governments and tribal organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). However, the eligibility statement emphasizes local capacity to serve the specific geographic area. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the awarded organization would be expected to contribute non-federal resources as required by Head Start grant rules and the full funding announcement. 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, which suggests there were specific preparatory steps, templates, or instructions beyond what appears in the brief synopsis.
Key dates for this archived opportunity show it was posted and created on March 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010. Applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is June 23, 2010. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the notice directs applicants to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
Overall, this grant competition was designed as a replacement-grantee action: not a new service expansion, but a continuity-of-services award intended to keep Early Head Start programming in place for eligible families in San Sebastian and Moca. The single award structure, the fixed annual funding figure, and the reference to the former enrollment level all point to an effort to stabilize local early childhood services by selecting an organization capable of quickly operating an Early Head Start program at an established capacity in the same community footprint.
