Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0671) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). It seeks applicants to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in the City of White Plains, New York. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants can propose to run a combined model that includes both Head Start (generally preschool age) and Early Head Start (pregnant people, infants, and toddlers) funding, or they can apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, as long as they can deliver the full range of required program services in the local service area.
The annual funding amount available is $2,087,834, with an award ceiling that matches that total and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is income security and social services. A key condition is that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning awardees should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start grant requirements (the specific match rules and how they apply depend on whether the applicant is proposing Head Start, Early Head Start, or both, and are detailed in the full announcement).
Eligibility depends on what an organization is applying to operate. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only, or Head Start combined with Early Head Start), eligible applicants are 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 (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency as defined by the Head Start Act. For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)): any public or private nonprofit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply, provided they can deliver Early Head Start services in the service area. Existing Head Start operators are also eligible to operate Early Head Start. The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based organizations are eligible and are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
