Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announced a discretionary grant competition to select one or more grantees to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Macon, Bibb, and Monroe Counties in Georgia. The intent is to fund organizations that can deliver a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants can propose a combined model that uses both Head Start and Early Head Start funding to cover the full birth-to-five continuum, or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and program design.
The opportunity is structured as a grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The annual funding available is listed at $6,895,185, which functions as the award ceiling for an individual award. ACF anticipated making up to two awards, suggesting the service area or funded slots could be divided across more than one provider if that best meets local needs and program requirements. The funded work is expected to provide the full set of Head Start/Early Head Start comprehensive services, which typically include early learning and development supports, family engagement services, health and developmental screenings and referrals, nutrition services, and coordination with community partners to ensure children and families receive needed supports.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of entities that are commonly positioned to run early childhood programs at scale. Eligible applicants included state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The announcement also explicitly noted that public or private nonprofits (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit organizations were encouraged to apply, as long as they could meet Head Start and/or Early Head Start performance expectations and deliver services effectively across the target counties.
Key administrative details included the funding opportunity title "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Macon, Bibb, and Monroe Counties, Georgia" and funding opportunity number HHS-2017-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1198. The opportunity was posted on May 16, 2016, with an original and current application due date of July 19, 2016. For technical or process-related questions, interested applicants were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org for additional information.
