Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0941) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to support delivery of Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. The goal is to fund an organization (or organizations) that can operate a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving eligible children and families, covering the birth-to-five continuum. Applicants may propose to run a combined program using both Head Start and Early Head Start funds, or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, as long as they can serve families in the specified service area.
ACF indicates that $2,315,811 in annual funding is available for this service area, with an award ceiling of $2,315,811 and an award floor of $500,000. The announcement anticipates up to two awards. The assistance listing is CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules and the details in the full announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is seeking to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only, or Head Start plus Early Head Start), eligible applicants are limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) and certain local for-profit agencies in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must also demonstrate they meet 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 applications, eligibility is broader: public or private nonprofits (including faith-based organizations) and for-profit organizations in the service area may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act. Entities already operating Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start programs as well. The opportunity lists many possible applicant types in general (including state and local governments, tribes, school districts, housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, and higher education institutions), but applicants still need to fit the Head Start Act eligibility rules described above for the specific program model they propose. Individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified.
Key dates for this archived competition were: posted September 24, 2014, with an application due date of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date listed is December 24, 2014.
