Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), seeks organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for families living in Crawford and Sebastian Counties, Arkansas. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth to age five. Applicants may propose a program that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding into a single birth-to-five continuum, or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and the needs they plan to address in the service area.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with an estimated total annual funding amount of $3,006,051. The award ceiling is listed as $3,006,051 and the award floor is $500,000, indicating ACF may make one or more awards at different funding levels. The announcement anticipates up to two awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect they will need to document and support non-federal share commitments consistent with Head Start requirements and the specifics outlined in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is seeking Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (either Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), eligibility is 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 authorized under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start agency and that they can deliver Head Start services to eligible children and families in Crawford and Sebastian Counties. For Early Head Start-only proposals, eligibility is somewhat broader: any public or private nonprofit organization (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, so long as the entity can provide Early Head Start services within the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are also eligible to operate Early Head Start programs under this competition. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible.
The application timeline in the notice reflects a posted date of July 24, 2013, with an application due date of October 22, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing also notes an archive date of November 21, 2013, which signals that this specific competition is historical, but the summary still captures how ACF structured the solicitation and who it sought for service delivery in those Arkansas counties.
For support and questions, applicants were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via OHS@headstartgrants.org for additional program information. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or submitting an application, the ACF Applications Help Desk was provided (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
