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 Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. The grant is intended to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants may propose to run a combined program that blends both Head Start (generally preschool-age children) and Early Head Start (pregnant women, infants, and toddlers), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and the approach they believe best meets local needs.
The opportunity is a discretionary federal grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with an expected single award. The total estimated funding is $1,093,875 per year, which is also listed as the award ceiling, and the award floor is $500,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee will need to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start program rules and the specific requirements described in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is pursuing Head Start, Early Head Start, 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 located in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to provide Head Start services in Pointe Coupee Parish and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated 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: any public or private nonprofit (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency in the service area that can provide Early Head Start services may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act. Organizations 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 will be disqualified.
ACF lists a wide range of organizational types that may be eligible depending on the program model proposed and the statutory requirements, including nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), governmental entities (state, county, city/township), certain education institutions, tribal governments (federally recognized), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), among others. Regardless of entity type, the core expectation is the ability to deliver comprehensive Head Start/Early Head Start services to children and families in the specified service area and to meet all program performance, governance, and fiscal requirements that come with Head Start funding.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0924. The announcement was posted September 24, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014.
