Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0674) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), aimed at selecting one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for families living in Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan Counties, West Virginia. The core purpose is to ensure eligible children and families in this three-county service area have access to a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants can propose to run a combined program that includes both Head Start (generally serving preschool-age children) and Early Head Start (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people), or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and the eligibility rules tied to each program type.
ACF anticipates making up to two awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available is $4,211,975 per year, with an award ceiling of $4,211,975 and an award floor of $500,000. The funding is intended to support the full range of Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services for eligible children and their families, which typically includes early learning and development, health services, family well-being supports, and strong parent and community engagement components, all delivered in alignment with federal Head Start requirements for comprehensive services and quality. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning awardees should expect to meet applicable non-federal share obligations as described in Head Start program rules and the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligible applicants vary depending on whether an organization is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applicants seeking Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start award, 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 in the defined area and must demonstrate they meet statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For applicants seeking Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act and can include public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies in the service area that can deliver Early Head Start services. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are explicitly allowed to operate Early Head Start programs as well, and faith-based organizations that meet the requirements are eligible to apply; however, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
The opportunity falls under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The application window for this specific posting opened on July 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 22, 2013, and electronic submissions were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
