Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Ashtabula County, Ohio" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0382), is a discretionary federal funding competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically under the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to select one or more qualified organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Ashtabula County, Ohio. In practical terms, ACF is looking for a local provider (or providers) that can run a high-quality Head Start program that meets federal performance standards and delivers comprehensive early childhood services to families who qualify.
The funding is offered as a grant under CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.600 (Head Start). The announcement indicates an estimated total annual funding amount of $2,501,043, with an award ceiling of $2,501,043 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). ACF anticipated making up to two awards, meaning the county service area could potentially be served by more than one grantee depending on how ACF structures the final awards and service coverage. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start's role in supporting school readiness and family well-being.
Eligibility is intentionally broad but still limited to organizational entities with the capacity to run a federally compliant Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies located within the community. The eligible applicant types listed also include county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the notice clearly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly noted as eligible so long as they meet the standard program and administrative requirements.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, which is typical for Head Start. While the summary text does not spell out the percentage, Head Start grants commonly require a non-federal share that may be met through allowable cash or in-kind contributions, subject to federal rules. Applicants would be expected to address how they will meet this match requirement as part of their budget and program design.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application due date of August 14, 2012. The notice specifies that electronically submitted applications had to be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, but the details still describe the scope, funding level, and applicant expectations for that competition cycle.
For support and additional information, applicants were directed to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
