Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Newark, New Jersey is a discretionary federal 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 main purpose is to select one new grantee to continue Early Head Start services in Newark after the prior provider, Babyland Family Services, Inc., ceased serving as the grantee. In practical terms, this is a replacement grant intended to keep services in place for infants, toddlers, and eligible families in the same community rather than launching an entirely new initiative in a new location.
Funding is set at $1,288,371 per year, and ACF expects to make a single award under this announcement. The previous grant supported an enrollment level of 90 children and families, and the new applicant is expected to provide Early Head Start program services at a comparable scale consistent with program requirements and community need. The award ceiling is listed as $1,288,371, with an award floor of $0, reflecting that ACF may fund up to the full annual amount depending on an application that meets the federal expectations and scoring criteria described in the full notice.
Eligible applicants are limited to organizations located in, and able to serve, the Newark service area. ACF allows a broad set of entity types so long as they are local and capable of delivering Early Head Start services. This includes local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations), as well as local for-profit organizations. The eligibility list also references various government and education entities (such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and certain tribal entities), along with other classifications like Hispanic Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as long as they meet the local service and program capability expectations. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations tied to Head Start/Early Head Start funding rules (the specific percentage and allowable sources are typically detailed in the full funding announcement and related program regulations). Because this is a continuation-of-services situation, applicants should also expect an emphasis on operational readiness, continuity of care, and the ability to quickly stand up or sustain comprehensive Early Head Start components that support children and families.
The competition timeline in the notice shows it was posted on April 18, 2008, with an application closing date of June 16, 2008. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the deadline is no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing also notes an archive date of July 16, 2008, indicating the historical window when the announcement was active.
ACF directs interested applicants to request pre-application materials and additional information by calling the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The agency also invites public comments from parents and residents in the service area. These comments are intended to help ACF understand general community needs in Newark rather than to advocate for or against a particular applicant, and they should be sent to the ACYF Operations Center as well. For access issues with the full announcement, a point of contact is provided: Shawna Pinckney (OHS@dixongroup.com). The full announcement is referenced through ACF using Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0205 under the Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Newark, New Jersey title.
