Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Newark, New Jersey funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0095) is a discretionary grant competition from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), within the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to select one organization to take over and continue Early Head Start services in Newark, New Jersey, maintaining the availability of comprehensive supports for infants, toddlers, and their families. This competition is specifically framed as a “replacement grantee” action, meaning it is intended to sustain services that were previously delivered by the former grantee, Babyland Family Services, Inc., rather than to create an entirely new service footprint.
The award is designed to fund Early Head Start programming for a community-based enrollment level that matches the prior grant: a total funded enrollment of 90 infants and toddlers and their families. The annual amount available is $1,347,707, which is also listed as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0, and an estimated total funding level of $1,347,707. ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement, so applicants are competing for a single grant intended to serve Newark residents who meet Early Head Start eligibility requirements. The funding activity category is listed under Income Security and Social Services, and the relevant CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start).
Eligibility is limited to local organizations that can deliver Early Head Start services in Newark, New Jersey. This includes local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The opportunity also lists a wide range of applicant types in its eligibility section (such as state and local governments, higher education institutions, public housing authorities, tribal organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit entities), but the controlling eligibility language emphasizes local community-based capacity to provide Early Head Start services in Newark. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee is expected to meet applicable Head Start matching expectations as outlined in the full funding announcement and related program regulations. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for the specific terms, required documentation, and program expectations tied to Early Head Start operations, including how services must be structured to meet federal performance standards for infant-toddler programming and family supports.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on March 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 23, 2010. For electronic submission, the notice emphasizes a strict deadline: applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For applicants needing materials or more guidance during the competition, ACF instructed interested organizations to call the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to request pre-application materials and additional information. For technical difficulties accessing the announcement, the ACF Applications Help Desk was provided as a support contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity sought a capable local provider to step in and operate Early Head Start programming at a scale of 90 funded enrollment slots in Newark, using approximately $1.35 million per year, with the goal of ensuring continuity of services for very young children and their families following the transition away from the former grantee.
