Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on expanding or operating Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for families living in Ford County, Kansas. The goal is to fund a provider that can deliver a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth through age five, either by combining both Head Start and Early Head Start resources into one coordinated birth-to-five model or by operating only one of the two program types (Head Start only or Early Head Start only). The program is meant to serve eligible children and their families with the full scope of Head Start/Early Head Start services, which typically include early learning and development supports along with health, nutrition, family engagement, and other wraparound services that are central to these federal programs.
ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement. The annual funding level is $1,686,751, and both the award floor and award ceiling are listed as $1,686,751, indicating the grant is structured around a single, set funding amount for the service area rather than a wide range of potential award sizes. The estimated total funding available is also $1,686,751. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start) and includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee should expect to meet applicable non-federal share expectations as outlined in Head Start/Early Head Start rules and the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligible applicants vary depending on whether an organization is applying to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), eligibility is 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 must be able to provide Head Start services to children and families residing in Ford County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit organization (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit organization can apply, consistent with Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they are in the service area and can provide Early Head Start services to local children and families. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified from competitive review.
The opportunity was posted on September 25, 2014, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of November 24, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is December 24, 2014. Even though this specific notice is archived, the summary details reflect how ACF structured the competition for services in Ford County at the time: one grantee, a defined annual funding level, and a requirement to deliver comprehensive Head Start and/or Early Head Start programming to eligible residents in the county.
For additional program guidance, applicants were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
