Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R06 0735) 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 Orleans Parish, Louisiana. The intent is to fund high-quality, comprehensive early childhood programming that serves eligible children and families across the birth-to-five continuum. Applicants may propose a combined model that uses both Head Start and Early Head Start funds to deliver coordinated services from infancy through preschool, or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and program design.
The total estimated funding available is $24,520,012 per year to support services in the area, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to five awards under this announcement. The funding is tied to 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 that the program will require some level of non-federal share consistent with Head Start and/or Early Head Start rules (the specific expectations and how they differ by program are addressed in the full funding opportunity announcement).
Eligibility is broad in terms of entity type, but it also depends on whether the applicant is seeking to run Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For Head Start only, or for a combined Head Start and Early Head Start application, eligible applicants are limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies in the service area, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must be able to deliver Head Start services to children and families living in Orleans Parish and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start only, eligibility is somewhat broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or a for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), as long as the organization operates in the service area and can provide Early Head Start services to Orleans Parish families. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
The opportunity was posted on July 24, 2013, with an application due date of October 22, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. While the listing is archived (archive date November 21, 2013), the announcement includes contact routes that were provided to support applicants: program-related questions could be directed to the Office of Head Start Operations Center at OHS@headstartgrants.org, and technical difficulties accessing the announcement could be addressed through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement was linked through ACF, and faith-based organizations were encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations referenced in the notice.
