Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R02 0457) is a discretionary grant competition run by 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 for children and families living in Jersey City within Hudson County, New Jersey. The intent is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program spanning birth to age five, either by combining both Head Start and Early Head Start funding into a single birth-to-five approach or by operating only one of the two program types (Head Start only or Early Head Start only). The program focus falls under the Income Security and Social Services funding activity category, and the CFDA (Assistance Listing) number associated with the program is 93.600, Head Start.
ACF anticipated making up to two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $8,463,698 available to serve eligible children and their families in the defined service area. The listed award ceiling is also $8,463,698, and the award floor is $0, which typically signals that applicants may propose budgets up to the ceiling depending on their proposed scope and funded model. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start/Early Head Start rules (the specific expectations and how they apply would be detailed in the full funding opportunity announcement).
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is seeking to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applicants proposing 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, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. In these cases, applicants must also 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 applicants proposing Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are explicitly noted as eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Across all options, faith-based and community organizations that meet the stated requirements are eligible, while individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The opportunity also lists a wide range of eligible applicant types in general (for example, state and local governments, school districts, housing authorities, tribes, nonprofits, small businesses, and institutions of higher education), but the Head Start Act-driven eligibility rules above are the key constraints for this specific competition, and the full announcement is where the distinctions are explained in more detail.
The announcement was posted and created on February 1, 2013, with an application due date of May 2, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on June 3, 2013. For help accessing or submitting the application package, ACF directed applicants to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. For program-related questions or additional information specific to Head Start operations, interested applicants were invited to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at OHS@headstartgrants.org.
