Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0705) 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). The purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in communities within the City of Detroit, Michigan. The program focus is on delivering a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program spanning birth to age five, meaning applicants can propose a combined model that includes both Head Start (generally preschool-age) and Early Head Start (pregnant women, infants, and toddlers), or they can apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start depending on their capacity and strategy.
ACF anticipates making up to two awards, with an estimated total of $2,358,924 available annually. The award ceiling is listed as $2,358,924 and the award floor is $500,000, indicating proposals could range from partial service delivery models to a larger, more comprehensive approach depending on what ACF funds and the service design proposed. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for non-federal resources or allowable match contributions consistent with Head Start rules and the specific instructions in the full announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is proposing Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), 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, as authorized by Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). Applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), allowing any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agency that can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
The announcement lists a wide range of applicant types that may be eligible depending on the program being proposed, including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with certain limitations), city/township, county, and state governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, small businesses and other for-profit entities (as applicable), public housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. Faith-based organizations are eligible and are encouraged to review ACF policy on grants to faith-based organizations as referenced in the notice.
