Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0700) 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 in Muscogee, Talbot, Clay, Quitman, Chattahoochee, and Stewart Counties in Georgia. The intent is to fund providers that can deliver a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five program that may combine both Head Start (generally preschool-aged children) and Early Head Start (pregnant people, infants, and toddlers), or to run Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on what the applicant proposes and is eligible to operate under the Head Start Act.
ACF anticipated making up to 2 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available is $6,955,128 per year, and the listing shows an annual award ceiling of $6,955,128 with an award floor of $500,000. The program is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to document some level of non-federal share as required by the Head Start/Early Head Start rules (the specific expectations are addressed in the full funding opportunity announcement).
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only or Head Start plus Early Head Start), 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 and able to serve children and families in that service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For applications that are Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)) and can include any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agencies in the service area that can provide Early Head Start services there. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly allowed to apply to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
The announcement emphasizes comprehensive, high-quality services, which in Head Start terms generally means integrated early learning, health, mental health, nutrition, family engagement, and related supports delivered in accordance with Head Start Program Performance Standards. The geographic focus is strictly the named Georgia counties, and applicants must be able to serve eligible children and families residing in that defined service area.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time for electronic submissions, and an archive date of November 21, 2013.
