Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico 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. The purpose is to select a new organization to take over and continue Early Head Start services in the Municipality of Santa Isabel after the prior grantee, the Municipality of Santa Isabel, is no longer serving in that role. The program focus is on delivering comprehensive Early Head Start services to eligible infants and toddlers and their families, maintaining continuity of care and support in the same local service area rather than creating a brand-new initiative.
The funding available is approximately $1,062,823 per year, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount and one expected award. The previous grant supported an enrollment level of 90 infants and toddlers and their families, and applicants are essentially expected to be capable of operating at a similar scale while meeting all applicable Head Start and Early Head Start program requirements. The funding is tied to the Head Start CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee must meet federal expectations for non-federal share as outlined in the full announcement and Head Start rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations that meet the program requirements, and for-profit organizations. Various government entities may also apply, such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Certain entities are explicitly not eligible, including individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships.
Applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, with materials also available through www.headstartgrants.org. For applicants needing technical help accessing the full announcement, ACF provided support through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). The funding opportunity number is HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0242, originally posted May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be filed by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition for that specific service area and period.
Overall, this announcement is best understood as a replacement grantee competition intended to keep Early Head Start services running without interruption for Santa Isabel families, using federal grant funding to support high-quality early childhood development, family support, and related comprehensive services for very young children in the community.
