Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Pike County, Ohio" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0709; CFDA 93.600 Head Start). The intent of the announcement was to fund an organization (or organizations) to operate comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children and families living in Pike County, Ohio. The program model described was a high-quality, birth-to-five approach that could combine both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or it could be limited to Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on what an applicant proposed and qualified to deliver. However, the notice explicitly states that the opportunity to apply for services in Pike County, Ohio was withdrawn, meaning it was ultimately taken off the table rather than proceeding through a standard award cycle.
If it had moved forward, the funding level identified was $2,431,170 per year in available funds to support Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in the county. The grant listed an estimated total funding amount equal to $2,431,170, with an award ceiling of $2,431,170 and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category fell under income security and social services. The announcement also indicated there was a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so awardees would have been expected to meet applicable non-federal share rules, consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start requirements.
The eligibility rules depended on whether an applicant was seeking to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For Head Start only, or for a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal, eligible applicants were limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. Applicants also needed to demonstrate they met the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For Early Head Start only, eligibility was broader under Section 645A(d) of the Act, allowing any public or private nonprofit (including faith-based and community-based groups) or for-profit agency that could provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start were specifically noted as eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply.
The broader eligibility list in the posting included a wide range of entity types that could potentially qualify if they met the program-specific statutory tests and were situated to serve Pike County. This list included state and local governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and state governments. The announcement also highlighted that faith-based organizations were eligible if they met requirements, and it pointed applicants to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
Key dates in the record show the opportunity was posted July 24, 2013, with a creation date of September 4, 2013. The original closing date was October 22, 2013, but the "current" closing date was changed to September 5, 2013, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is listed as October 7, 2013, which aligns with the listing being moved into an inactive status after the relevant period. For applicants seeking clarification at the time, the notice directed inquiries to the Office of Head Start Operations Center via OHS@headstartgrants.org, and it provided the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov) for technical access issues related to the full announcement.
