Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0932) is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). It is designed to fund organizations that can operate a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program for children and families living in San Joaquin County, California. The program model may be a combined birth-to-five approach that blends Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or it may focus on Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on what the applicant proposes and is eligible to operate. The core intent is to support comprehensive services for young children and families, consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start requirements.
The announcement makes available an estimated total of $26,099,191 per year to provide services across the county, with an expected five awards. Individual awards may range from a floor of $500,000 up to a ceiling of $26,099,191, which suggests ACF may fund multiple operators serving different parts of the service area or different program options, while also leaving open the possibility that one large operator could receive a substantial share if appropriate. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients should be prepared to meet whatever non-federal share obligations apply under Head Start rules (the specific percentages and allowable sources are typically detailed in the full funding opportunity announcement).
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is seeking to run Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applicants pursuing Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program, 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 also show they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency as defined in the Act. For applicants seeking Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: public or private nonprofit agencies (including faith-based organizations) and for-profit agencies may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they can deliver Early Head Start services in the service area. The notice also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs may apply to operate Early Head Start. Individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified.
The eligible applicant types listed are expansive and include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses, provided they meet the program-specific eligibility rules described above for the specific Head Start or Early Head Start track being requested.
Key dates in the original posting show the opportunity was posted September 25, 2014, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived December 24, 2014.
