Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start - Washington County, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R10-0895), was released 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) intended to fund organizations that can deliver high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services to eligible children and families living in Washington County, Oregon. The program scope allows applicants to propose services that combine Head Start and Early Head Start into a single birth-to-five continuum, or to apply to operate Head Start only, or Early Head Start only, depending on the applicant's capacity and service plan.
The annual funding amount available for the service area is estimated at $4,750,985, with an award ceiling equal to $4,750,985 and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards, suggesting the funding could be split between multiple providers or program models serving the county. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must meet non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start requirements (the specific details and any applicable waivers would be described in the full funding opportunity announcement).
Eligible applicants are broad in category listing, including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties and school districts), tribes, public housing authorities, and for-profit entities (including small businesses in the general eligibility list). However, the announcement emphasizes that eligibility rules differ depending on whether an applicant is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For Head Start-only or combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposals, 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 Washington County and must demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start-only proposals, eligibility is somewhat broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, allowing any public or private nonprofit (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency in the service area that can provide Early Head Start services to children and families in Washington County. The announcement also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs are eligible to operate Early Head Start. Applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified.
Key dates show the funding opportunity was posted on September 25, 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.
