Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), seeks organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for children and families living in Choctaw, Dallas, Marengo, and Wilcox Counties in Alabama. The overall goal is to support a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants may propose a model that combines both Head Start (generally serving preschool-aged children) and Early Head Start (serving pregnant people, infants, and toddlers), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and proposed service design for the community.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2017 ACF OHS CH R04 1199) under CFDA 93.600, categorized within Income Security and Social Services. The announcement indicates approximately $4,548,551 in annual funding is available for program operations across the service area, with an award ceiling listed at $4,548,551 and an expectation of two awards. In practical terms, the funding is intended to cover the costs of delivering Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services to eligible children and families in the four counties, consistent with Head Start Program Performance Standards and related federal requirements for comprehensive services.
A wide range of entities are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include public agencies (such as state, county, and city or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity is also open to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. On the nonprofit side, both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category) may apply, including community-based and faith-based organizations. Private institutions of higher education are eligible as well. For-profit organizations may apply, including small businesses and other for-profit entities (other than small businesses). This broad eligibility reflects the program’s focus on selecting an operator that can demonstrate the infrastructure, governance, community partnerships, and service-delivery capability needed to run a compliant, high-quality Head Start and/or Early Head Start program.
