Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Volusia County, Florida is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The main purpose is to select one new organization to take over and continue Early Head Start services in Volusia County after the former grantee, the Child Care Resource Network, previously operated the program. In practical terms, ACF is looking for a capable local provider to ensure that infants, toddlers, and their families in the county keep receiving comprehensive Early Head Start services without disruption.
Funding is set at $467,519 per year, with an award ceiling of $467,519 and an award floor of $0, and ACF expects to make a single award. The prior grant supported an enrollment level of 48 children and families, which gives applicants a clear sense of the program size ACF is trying to maintain. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding instrument is a grant. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee should expect to meet non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules (the full announcement would spell out specifics and allowable sources).
Eligibility is focused on organizations that are local to the community being served and that can actually deliver Early Head Start services in Volusia County. ACF states that eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) and local for-profit organizations. The broader eligibility list also references various governmental entities and institutions (such as county and city governments, independent school districts, certain higher education institutions, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, public housing authorities, and some categories like HBCUs and HSIs), but the key limiting language is that applicants must be local to the service area and able to provide Early Head Start services to children and families residing in Volusia County. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
ACF also invites public input from parents and residents in the service area. These comments are meant to help ACF understand community needs and priorities across Volusia County, not to serve as endorsements for any particular applicant. Comments are to be sent to the ACYF Operations Center, the same point of contact applicants use for materials.
The opportunity was posted April 14, 2008, with an application due date of June 9, 2008. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity later moved to archive status with an archive date of July 9, 2008. Applicants were instructed to call the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to request pre-application materials and additional guidance, and a contact was provided for access issues related to the full announcement (Shawna Pinckney, OHS@dixongroup.com).
