Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Allen Parish, Louisiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0739), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Allen Parish, Louisiana. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is offered as a discretionary grant. The goal is to fund a local provider that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services, which typically include early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family engagement, and related supports designed to promote school readiness and strengthen family well-being.
The announcement set an estimated total funding amount of $964,022 per year, with the award floor and ceiling both listed at $964,022, indicating a fixed annual funding level for the grant. ACF expected to make one award, meaning applicants were competing for a single grantee slot to serve the entire Allen Parish service area under this specific funding opportunity. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so the selected grantee would need to meet the Head Start non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start grant rules.
Eligibility was broad across many types of community-serving entities, reflecting how Head Start is often delivered through local partnerships and established service networks. Eligible applicants included local and state governmental entities (such as county governments, city or township governments, and independent school districts), nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status as well as certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), public and private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The notice emphasized that community-based and faith-based organizations meeting requirements were eligible and encouraged faith-based applicants to review ACF policy guidance related to grants for faith-based organizations. At the same time, it clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from eligibility.
Key dates in the posting show the opportunity was originally posted on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013, which generally indicates the competition period ended and the agency moved beyond the application phase.
For support and next steps, the announcement provided multiple contact points. Applicants seeking program-specific information were directed to email the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or problems with the electronic application process, applicants were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
