Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS 2015 ACF OHS CH R06 0925) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to support the delivery of Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in a specific Texas service area: Jones, Nolan, Fisher, Haskell, Stephens, Shackelford, and Mitchell Counties, plus portions of Taylor County. The intent is to fund high-quality, comprehensive early childhood programming for eligible children and families, covering the birth-to-five continuum. Applicants can propose to operate a combined model using both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they can apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and eligibility.
The award funding level listed is $3,204,281 per year in total available annual funding for the service area, with an award ceiling of $3,204,281 and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards under this announcement. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect that the project budget will need to reflect required non-federal share or match consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is seeking Head Start, Early Head Start, or both, and the rules differ between those tracks. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), 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 (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must be able to deliver Head Start services to children and families in the defined area and must demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), provided they are in the service area and can deliver Early Head Start services. Entities already operating Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified from review.
