Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Lucas County, Ohio opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0772) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). It replaces an earlier announcement (HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0768) and is designed to fund high-quality early childhood services for eligible children and families living in Lucas County, Ohio. The core goal is to ensure comprehensive early learning, health, family support, and related services through either Head Start, Early Head Start, or an integrated birth-to-five model that combines both funding streams.
A key feature of this announcement is that it expands the competitive option to include Early Head Start, meaning applicants may propose services for infants, toddlers, and pregnant women, in addition to the traditional Head Start preschool-age focus. Applicants can apply to operate (1) a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program covering birth through age five, (2) Head Start only, or (3) Early Head Start only, as long as the proposal serves children and families residing in Lucas County. The expectation is a comprehensive, high-quality program approach consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start performance requirements, rather than a narrow or single-service model.
The announcement anticipates up to three awards, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $12,233,037. The listed award ceiling matches the total available amount ($12,233,037), and the award floor is $500,000, indicating ACF may fund one large provider or multiple providers depending on the applications and the service design proposed. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for required non-federal share consistent with Head Start grant rules and be prepared to document how that match will be met.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local and regional entities that can operate early childhood programs at scale. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, except as otherwise limited), faith-based and community-based organizations that meet the requirements, small businesses, other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also listed as eligible), independent school districts, city/township and county governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education. At the same time, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement. Faith-based organizations are specifically noted as eligible and are encouraged to consult ACF policy guidance related to faith-based grant participation.
The application timeline in the source posting shows the opportunity was posted on August 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of December 2, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is January 1, 2014, which indicates the competition is historical in this form, but the details still matter for understanding the scope, funding level, and eligibility structure of the Lucas County Head Start/Early Head Start competition at that time.
For applicant support and questions, ACF provided operational and technical contacts. Program-related questions and additional information could be requested through the Office of Head Start Operations Center at OHS@headstartgrants.org. If an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the ACF Applications Help Desk was the technical support contact (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
