Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to support Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Napa and Solano Counties, California. The goal is to fund organizations that can deliver a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth through age five, either by operating a blended program that includes both Head Start (generally serving preschool-age children) and Early Head Start (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people), or by operating only one of the two program types. The program emphasis is on comprehensive services for eligible children and their families, consistent with the Head Start model, which typically integrates early learning, health, family well-being, and parent engagement.
ACF expects to make up to three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total of $10,856,088 available each year to serve the defined service area. The award ceiling is listed as $10,856,088 and the award floor is $500,000, indicating that awards may vary in size depending on the proposed scope and funded program option(s). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet non-federal share expectations as described in the full funding opportunity announcement and governing Head Start regulations.
Eligible applicants depend on whether the applicant is seeking Head Start funding, Early Head Start funding, or both. For applicants seeking Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start award, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies in the service area that can provide Head Start services, and that can demonstrate they meet statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For applicants seeking Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader and includes any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agencies that can provide Early Head Start services in the service area; entities already operating Head Start programs may also apply to operate Early Head Start. Individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are explicitly ineligible and will be disqualified.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0930 and is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), within the funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services. The application window for this announcement opened on September 25, 2014, with an application due date of November 24, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on December 24, 2014.
