Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Colusa County, California. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth through age five and supporting families through the full range of required Head Start/Early Head Start services. Applicants may propose to run a combined program that includes both Head Start (generally preschool-aged children) and Early Head Start (pregnant people, infants, and toddlers), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, as long as they can effectively serve eligible children and families in the county.
ACF expects to make up to two awards under this announcement. The estimated total annual funding available is $1,636,939, with an award ceiling of $1,636,939 and an award floor of $500,000, meaning proposals could be funded at different levels depending on the scope of services proposed and the structure of the awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules and confirm the specifics in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on what an applicant is seeking to operate. For Head Start-only applications, or applications proposing both Head Start and 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 located in the service area, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to provide Head Start services in Colusa County and must demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements to be designated 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 agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they can deliver Early Head Start services in the service area. Existing Head Start operators are also eligible to operate Early Head Start. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0757, under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and falls within the broader activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The original posting date was July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the announcement was later archived on November 21, 2013. While the notice itself is dated, the summary details describe the intended program scope, funding level, and eligibility framework for operating Head Start and/or Early Head Start in Colusa County.
For applicants needing more details, the announcement directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center via OHS@headstartgrants.org.
