Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0746) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on delivering Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in a specific Texas service area: Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson, and Washington Counties. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program that can combine both Head Start (generally preschool-age) and Early Head Start (pregnant people, infants, and toddlers) funding, or that can operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on what the applicant proposes and is eligible to run. The program is intended to serve eligible children and families in those counties with the full range of Head Start model services, which typically include early learning, health, mental health, nutrition, family engagement, and support services designed to promote school readiness and family well-being.
ACF expected to make up to two awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available is $4,148,412 per year, which is also listed as the award ceiling, meaning a single award could be as high as the full annual amount if structured that way. The award floor is $500,000, signaling that smaller proposals may be considered but must still be large enough to operate a viable program. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for required non-federal share and be prepared to document how they will meet it under Head Start rules. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start).
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying to run Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For Head Start-only or combined Head Start and Early Head Start applications, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. Applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as the entity can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well, and faith-based and community organizations are eligible if they meet the requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
The opportunity was posted July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. While the listing is archived (archive date November 21, 2013), the notice includes practical points of contact: applicants could email the Office of Head Start Operations Center at OHS@headstartgrants.org for additional information, and those needing help accessing the announcement could contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The official funding announcement link is provided through ACF, and it contains the detailed program expectations, performance standards, and the specific differences in eligibility and requirements between Head Start and Early Head Start that applicants would need to follow.
