Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee Riverside County, California opportunity is a discretionary 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. The purpose is to select a new grantee to continue Early Head Start services in Riverside County, California after the prior provider, Ahmium Educational Association, stopped serving as the grantee. The funding is intended to maintain continuity of services for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the local community, essentially replacing the former grantee so the same general level of program capacity can continue without a major service gap.
ACF planned to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated annual funding amount of $419,976. The prior grantee’s funded enrollment level was 50 children and families, which gives applicants a clear sense of the size and scale ACF expected the replacement program to serve. The grant falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The award ceiling is listed as $419,976 and the award floor as $0, signaling that the maximum annual amount available was essentially the full annual program amount referenced in the notice, with the exact awarded amount dependent on an approved application and budget.
Eligibility is focused on organizations able to deliver Head Start services locally in Riverside County. ACF specifically notes local public or private nonprofit organizations as eligible, including faith-based and community organizations, and also allows local for-profit organizations to apply. The broader eligible applicant categories listed in the source data include various government entities (such as city/township, county, and state governments), public and private institutions of higher education, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and certain business types. Even with that broader list, the eligibility narrative emphasizes that the applicant must be positioned to provide Head Start services in the Riverside County community. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants needed to account for non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules (the notice flags the requirement even though the specific percentage and documentation details would be in the full announcement). Applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, which suggests there were specific local service expectations, transition considerations, or program requirements that ACF wanted prospective applicants to review before submitting.

In practical terms, this announcement was about selecting a single organization to step in as the new Early Head Start grantee for Riverside County, funded at roughly $420,000 per year, to continue serving around 50 enrolled children and families, following the service footprint previously supported under Ahmium Educational Association.
