Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Blair County, Pennsylvania" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0467), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) within the broader category of income security and social services. The purpose is to competitively award federal funds to an eligible organization that can deliver comprehensive Head Start services to qualifying children and families living in Blair County, Pennsylvania.
ACF is seeking applications from local entities that are capable of operating a Head Start program in the community.

The eligibility list also covers certain government entities and education-related institutions, such as 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 (including Indian housing authorities), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and small businesses. Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible as long as they meet all program and award requirements. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this competition.
