Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Somerville, Massachusetts 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 continue delivering Early Head Start services in Somerville after the prior grantee, Somerville Mental Health Association, Inc., previously operated the program. In practical terms, ACF is looking for an applicant that can step in and maintain ongoing services for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the same community, rather than launching a brand-new program model or expanding to a new service area.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated total annual amount of $1,259,087. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,259,087, meaning applications should generally be built around that annual funding level. The former grantee served a funded enrollment of 94 children (infants and toddlers) and their families, which signals the approximate scale of services the new grantee is expected to sustain. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing is CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). Cost sharing or matching is required under this opportunity, so applicants need to plan for meeting any non-federal share requirements described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can operate an Early Head Start program. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), faith-based and community organizations that meet the requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). Government entities such as state, county, and city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public and private institutions of higher education are also eligible. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The opportunity was posted May 12, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the deadline is explicitly stated as no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, with materials also available at www.headstartgrants.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provided the Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R01-0238, and the archived record indicates the opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011.
