Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a replacement provider for Early Head Start services in Riverside County, California. The purpose is continuity: ACF is looking for an organization to step in and continue the Early Head Start program previously operated by the former grantee, Ahmium Educational Association, with services focused on eligible infants and toddlers and their families. The program is intended to maintain access to comprehensive early childhood and family support services in the community, rather than create an entirely new initiative.
ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding and annual award ceiling are both $427,474, with no stated award floor. The prior grant supported an enrollment level of 50 infants and toddlers and their families, which signals the approximate service capacity the replacement grantee is expected to sustain. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the activity area falls under Income Security and Social Services. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the selected grantee will need to meet applicable non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start program rules and the specifics laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic entities capable of administering Early Head Start, such as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based and community organizations that meet requirements), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0249 and CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The opportunity was posted May 12, 2011, with an application due date of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, the deadline is no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement was later archived on December 23, 2011, which is important context for anyone using this notice as a historical reference or template.
