Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Head Start, seeks an organization (or organizations) to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Hancock County, Georgia. The intent is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants may propose to run a blended model that includes both Head Start (generally serving preschool-age children) and Early Head Start (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people), or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and the service approach they are proposing for the county.
The announcement makes available approximately $2,078,818 per year in federal funding, with an anticipated total of up to two awards. The award ceiling is listed as $2,078,818 and the award floor is $500,000, indicating ACF may fund one larger grantee or split funding across multiple awards if that best meets local needs and program design. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, consistent with Head Start program rules (the specific expectations and any allowable waivers would be detailed in the full funding opportunity announcement). The program falls under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start).
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is seeking to run Head Start, Early Head Start, or both, and the rules differ slightly between the two. For applicants seeking 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 located in the service area, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to deliver Head Start services in Hancock County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start agency. For applicants seeking Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: public or private nonprofit agencies (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agencies may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, so long as they are in the service area and can provide Early Head Start services to children and families in Hancock County. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly permitted to operate Early Head Start as well, and faith-based organizations are eligible and encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0701, and it was posted and created on July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013.
