Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R05 0710) is a discretionary 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). The goal is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Monroe County, Indiana. Applicants can propose a comprehensive birth-to-five model that blends Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they can apply to run only Head Start (generally preschool-age) or only Early Head Start (prenatal to age three). The program expectation is a high-quality, comprehensive approach consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start requirements, serving children as well as supporting families.
The funding level stated in the announcement is $2,821,977 per year in total available funds, with an award ceiling of $2,821,977 and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should plan for non-federal share obligations consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules (the specific percentages and allowable sources are typically detailed in the full funding announcement and the Head Start Act and regulations).
Eligibility depends on what an applicant is applying to operate. For applications 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, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to deliver Head Start services in Monroe County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start agency. For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-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. Existing Head Start operators are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted July 24, 2013, with an application due date of October 22, 2013.
