Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Northeast Harris County, Texas opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), administered under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). It is designed to select a single replacement provider to continue Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families living in Northeast Harris County, Texas, following the prior operation of these services by the former grantee, Humble Independent School District. The overall purpose is continuity of high-quality comprehensive early childhood and family support services in the same community, rather than launching a brand-new initiative in a different area.
ACF made approximately $680,521 available each year for this project, with one expected award and an annual award ceiling equal to the total amount listed. Applicants are expected to propose how many eligible infants, toddlers, and families they can realistically serve at high quality within the available funding level, rather than being locked into a fixed slot number by the announcement. For context, the former grantee had been funded to serve a total enrollment of 66 infants, toddlers, and their families, which offers a practical reference point for capacity planning, staffing, facilities, and service design.
Eligibility is limited to organizations in the community to be served that can deliver Early Head Start programming in Northeast Harris County. ACF explicitly includes local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The eligibility listings also reference a range of entity types that may apply where consistent with the local/community requirement, such as independent school districts, small businesses, local governments, tribal entities, housing authorities, special district governments, and institutions of higher education. Foreign entities are not eligible under this announcement. Because this is a Head Start/Early Head Start award, applicants should also be prepared for the standard Head Start framework of comprehensive services (early learning and development, family engagement, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, and strong program governance and compliance expectations) aligned with federal Head Start requirements.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet applicable non-federal share obligations consistent with Head Start grant rules and the full funding announcement details. Interested applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and further guidance by contacting the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and technical help for application access issues was available through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). The announcement also invited public comments from parents and residents within the service area to help ACF understand local needs. These comments were intended to inform ACF about community conditions and priorities, not to advocate for or against any particular applicant, and were to be submitted to the ACYF Operations Center.
Key administrative details include Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-7002, posting date February 20, 2009, and an application closing date of April 20, 2009. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived May 20, 2009. The full announcement and official requirements were provided through ACF at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open/HHS 2009 ACF OHS CH R06 7002.html.
