Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0667, is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). It is intended to fund the operation of Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Chautauqua County, New York. The goal is to support a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program, meaning applicants may propose a combined program that integrates both Head Start (generally serving preschool-aged children) and Early Head Start (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their eligibility and program design.
ACF expects to make up to two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total of $5,173,180 available annually for the service area. The award ceiling is listed as $5,173,180 and the award floor is $500,000, indicating proposals could range from smaller-scale operations up to a full countywide approach. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet required non-federal share obligations in line with Head Start and/or Early Head Start rules described in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility is broad at a high level, but it differs depending on whether an entity is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both.

These applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For Early Head Start only applicants, eligibility includes any public or private nonprofit organization (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit organizations, as permitted under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), so long as they can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are also eligible to operate Early Head Start. The opportunity explicitly notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
The funding instrument is a grant and the program activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the comprehensive nature of Head Start programming, which typically includes early learning, health, family engagement, and supportive services designed to promote school readiness and family well-being. The announcement emphasizes delivering a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five model, which generally implies meeting Head Start Program Performance Standards and building the staffing, facilities, governance, and community partnerships necessary to deliver full-scope services.
