Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a discretionary grant opportunity to fund the delivery of Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in San Miguel County, New Mexico. The intent is to select one organization to operate a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth to age five and their families. Applicants can propose to run a blended model that includes both Head Start (generally preschool-age) and Early Head Start (prenatal to age three), or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, as long as the proposal covers eligible children and families living in the San Miguel County service area. The program focus falls under income security and social services and emphasizes the full Head Start model, meaning education and school readiness supports alongside family services and other comprehensive elements that are standard in Head Start and Early Head Start programming.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0887, under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). ACF expected to make one award, with estimated total annual funding of $1,647,990. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $1,647,990, indicating the grant amount was set at that annual level for the selected grantee. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to plan for required non-federal share consistent with Head Start requirements. The funding instrument is a grant.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), eligibility is restricted to local public or private non-profit agencies, including community-based and faith-based organizations, or local for-profit agencies, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to deliver Head Start services in the service area and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private non-profit organization (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency can apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they can provide Early Head Start services to children and families in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are explicitly noted as eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Applications from 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 due date of November 24, 2014. Electronic submissions were required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date was December 24, 2014. Applicants seeking more information were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
