Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0665) is a discretionary federal 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 children and families living in the City of Trenton, New Jersey. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program that can deliver Head Start only, Early Head Start only, or an integrated program using both funding streams. The services are intended for eligible children and their families and should reflect the full Head Start model, which typically includes early learning, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support services, and connections to community resources.
ACF anticipates making up to two awards under this announcement. The estimated total annual funding available is $2,850,881, with an award ceiling of $2,850,881 and an award floor of $500,000, meaning applicants could be funded for smaller portions of the service area or for a subset of services, but no single award can exceed the annual amount listed. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to document and support non-federal contributions in accordance with Head Start grant rules and the specific terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is proposing Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For proposals that include Head Start (either Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program), eligible applicants are limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies within the service area that can deliver Head Start services to children and families residing in Trenton. Applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency as defined in the Head Start Act. For proposals that are Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply, as long as it can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
The posted and creation date for the opportunity was July 24, 2013. The application deadline (original and current) was October 22, 2013, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The listing was archived on November 21, 2013.
