Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start - Crook and Deschutes Counties, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R10-0897), was 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 purpose of the competition was to select one organization to operate a high-quality early childhood program for eligible children and families living in Crook and Deschutes Counties, Oregon. Applicants could propose to run a comprehensive birth-to-five model that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they could apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and the approach they proposed for serving local families.
The award amount was fixed at $1,404,470 per year, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $1,404,470, and ACF expected to make one award. The program focus falls within the broader category of Income Security and Social Services and reflects Head Start's core expectation of comprehensive services, meaning applicants were expected to deliver more than just early education. In practice, Head Start and Early Head Start programs typically integrate early learning, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and strong parent and family engagement components, with the goal of improving school readiness and child well-being while supporting whole-family stability.
Eligibility depended on which service option an organization applied to provide. For proposals that included Head Start (either Head Start only or both Head Start and Early Head Start together), eligibility was limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants also had to show they met the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For proposals that were Early Head Start only, eligibility was broader: any public or private nonprofit (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency could apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they could provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start were explicitly allowed to operate Early Head Start as well. Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities were not eligible and would be disqualified.
A wide range of entity types were listed as potentially eligible depending on the specific program option and statutory criteria, including federally recognized tribal governments, state and local governments (county, city/township), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with certain limitations), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses, as long as they met the Head Start Act requirements and were proposing services within the designated counties.
The opportunity was posted on September 25, 2014, with applications due November 24, 2014, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time for electronic submission. The listing shows it was archived December 24, 2014. For help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, applicants were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. For additional program-related information specific to Office of Head Start operations, interested applicants were also told they could email the OHS Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. The public announcement included an additional information link hosted by ACF that pointed to the full funding opportunity details. Cost sharing or matching was indicated as required, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet the applicable non-federal share rules described in the official announcement and governing Head Start requirements.
