Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start - Red River County, Texas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0884), was offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant in the Income Security and Social Services category (CFDA 93.600, Head Start) and is intended to fund one award to operate early childhood services for eligible children and families living in Red River County, Texas.
The purpose of the funding is to support a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five program. Applicants could propose to operate a program that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding into a coordinated service model, or they could apply to deliver only Head Start services or only Early Head Start services. In all cases, the expectation is that funded services will meet the Head Start Act requirements and deliver the full set of comprehensive supports typically associated with Head Start and Early Head Start, which generally include early learning, health and developmental screenings, family engagement, and other wraparound services designed to promote school readiness and family well-being.
The total available annual funding amount is $931,313, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $931,313, meaning the opportunity was structured around a single, fixed annual funding level for the selected grantee. The announcement also states there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to plan for and document the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules described in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on what an applicant is seeking to operate. For applications proposing Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program, eligible applicants are 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 to children and families residing in that service area. These applicants must also be able to demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act. For applications proposing Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply, as long as it can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. The announcement also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs are eligible to operate Early Head Start programs. Individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified.
The opportunity was posted on September 24, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing indicates it was archived on December 24, 2014, which reflects that the competition period has closed.
For support or additional details, prospective applicants were directed to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. Technical help accessing or submitting the full announcement electronically was available through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
