Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Replacement Grantee St. Louis City, Missouri" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF OHS CH R07 7001), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). It is a discretionary grant intended to select one replacement organization to continue delivering Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers (and their families) living in St. Louis City, Missouri. The purpose is continuity of services previously provided by the former grantee, South Side Day Nursery, rather than launching a brand-new initiative in a different area or serving a fundamentally different population.
ACF made available an estimated total of $754,971 per year for this award, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount. While the prior program operated at a funded enrollment of 64 infants, toddlers, and their families, applicants were expected to propose what they believed to be the maximum number of children and families they could serve at high quality within the available funding. In other words, 64 was a reference point from the predecessor grant, but the application needed to justify a proposed service level, staffing, and program design that meets Early Head Start performance expectations within the budget provided.
Eligibility was limited to organizations based in the community to be served that can provide Early Head Start services in St. Louis City. ACF specifically noted that local public or private nonprofits (including faith-based organizations) and local for-profit organizations could apply. The broader eligibility list also referenced various government entities and education-related institutions, but the controlling eligibility language emphasized local capacity to serve St. Louis City families and deliver Early Head Start programming. Foreign entities were explicitly not eligible.
This opportunity carried a cost-sharing or matching requirement (the announcement indicates "Yes"), meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet applicable non-federal share rules associated with Head Start/Early Head Start funding, as described in the full announcement and governing program requirements. The funding activity category was listed as income security and social services, consistent with Early Head Start's comprehensive services model for low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and their families.
ACF also invited public comments from parents and residents in the service area. These comments were intended to inform ACF about community needs and conditions in St. Louis City, not to advocate for or against any particular applicant. Comments were to be sent to the ACYF Operations Center, which also served as the point of contact for prospective applicants to request pre-application materials and additional guidance by phone at (866) 796-1591.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted February 20, 2009, with an application closing date of April 20, 2009. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, the deadline was no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement was later archived on May 20, 2009. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
