Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking one organization to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. The intent is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program that can serve children from birth through age five, either by combining Head Start and Early Head Start funding into one coordinated birth-to-five model or by operating only Head Start or only Early Head Start. This opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and focuses on income security and social services, reflecting the program's role in supporting school readiness and family well-being through comprehensive services.
The total funding available is $891,636 per year, and the opportunity is structured to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $891,636, which signals that ACF anticipated awarding the full annual amount to one successful applicant to cover the defined service area. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the grantee will be expected to meet applicable non-federal share requirements as described in the full funding opportunity announcement and consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules.
Eligibility depends on what an applicant is proposing to operate. For applicants seeking to run Head Start only, or both Head Start and Early Head Start together, 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, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. Those applicants must also be able to demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For applicants seeking to operate Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit organization (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit organization may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they can provide Early Head Start services to children and families in the service area. Organizations that already operate Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and from foreign entities are not allowed and would be disqualified.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0933, originally posted September 25, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Applicants needing technical help accessing or submitting the application were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. For program-related questions or additional information specific to Head Start operations, interested parties could contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
