Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Ouachita Parish, Louisiana funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-1148) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start (HHS-ACF-OHS). The purpose of the competition is to identify one or more organizations to operate high-quality early childhood services for eligible children and families living in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, using Head Start (generally preschool-age) and/or Early Head Start (prenatal through age three) funding.
Applicants are invited to propose one of several service approaches: a comprehensive birth-to-five program that blends both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or a program that delivers Head Start only, or Early Head Start only. Regardless of the option selected, the expectation is that the funded program will be high-quality and comprehensive, meaning it should address the full range of Head Start program components for children and families, not just classroom instruction. The opportunity sits within the Income Security and Social Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start).
The annual funding amount available is stated as $4,676,814, which functions as the award ceiling for this announcement. The opportunity anticipates making up to two awards, indicating that the Office of Head Start may fund one or two grantees depending on the applications received and how services are proposed to be delivered across the parish. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funds are intended to support ongoing program operations to serve eligible children and their families in the designated service area.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. This includes public entities such as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities; and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. It also includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments. On the nonprofit side, both 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) may apply, including community-based and faith-based organizations. Private institutions of higher education are eligible as well. The announcement also allows for for-profit organizations, including small businesses and other for-profits (other than small businesses), to apply, which is notable because many federal social service opportunities restrict eligibility to public or nonprofit entities.
Key dates provided in the source information show the opportunity was created and posted on March 10, 2016, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of May 9, 2016. For applicants seeking clarification or operational guidance related to the announcement, the notice directs inquiries to the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
