Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. Its purpose is to select a new organization to continue Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and their families living in the Germantown and Lehigh Area neighborhoods of Philadelphia. This funding is specifically intended to replace the former grantee, Philadelphia Parent Child Center, Inc., and to maintain continuity of services in the community at roughly the same scale that was previously funded.
The award is designed to support direct Early Head Start program operations, which typically include comprehensive early childhood development services for very young children (birth to age 3) along with family-centered supports. The prior grant supported an enrollment level of 155 infants and toddlers and their families, and applicants are expected to propose services that align with that community need and the Early Head Start program model. The funding amount listed is $1,193,248 per year, with an award ceiling of $1,193,248 and an award floor of $0, and ACF anticipated making one award for this service area.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, including state, county, city or township governments; public housing authorities; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible as long as they meet program requirements. For-profit organizations may also apply. The announcement notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible. The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee must meet applicable non-federal share rules as required under Head Start grant regulations.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0244, categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and offered as a grant funding instrument. The posting date was May 12, 2011, with an application due date (closing date) of July 12, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be filed by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The announcement was later archived on December 23, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition tied to replacing the previous provider.
