Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Philadelphia, Pennsylvania funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0309) 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 organization to continue Early Head Start services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purpose is continuity: ACF is looking for a new grantee to replace the prior provider, the YMCA of Philadelphia and Vicinity, so that eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the city can keep receiving Early Head Start supports without a gap or major service disruption.
The opportunity offers an estimated total of $917,491 per year, with an award ceiling of $917,491, to operate an Early Head Start program that previously served a funded enrollment of 100 children and families. The grant falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet the applicable non-federal share expectations described in the full announcement and Head Start program rules.
Eligibility is focused on organizations located in, and capable of serving, the Philadelphia community. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The listing also references a broad range of applicant types that may be eligible under federal categories (such as certain local government entities, school districts, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, housing authorities, small businesses, and some higher education institutions), but the key limitation repeated in the announcement is that the applicant must be a local entity able to deliver Early Head Start services to children and families residing in Philadelphia. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The competition anticipates making a single award. The original posting date was April 14, 2008, with an application due date of June 9, 2008. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, the deadline is no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived July 9, 2008, indicating it was tied to that specific funding cycle.
ACF also encourages public input from parents and residents in the service area. These comments are meant to help ACF understand local needs and priorities in general, not to advocate for or against any particular applicant. Public comments, as well as requests for pre-application materials and additional guidance, are directed to the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591.
