Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Blanco, Caldwell, and Hays Counties, Texas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0401), was issued 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 competition intended to select one organization to operate Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in Blanco, Caldwell, and Hays Counties in Texas. The program focus falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity area, and the applicable CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start). In practical terms, this is an open competition to identify a single grantee responsible for delivering comprehensive Head Start services in the specified service area.
The funding level listed for this opportunity is $3,451,845 per year in annual program funding, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an award floor of $0. ACF anticipated making one award. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements (often satisfied through a mix of cash contributions and allowable in-kind support, consistent with Head Start rules). Because the grant is designed to fund direct program operations, applicants would need to demonstrate they can manage a full Head Start delivery system, including program governance, fiscal controls, facilities, staffing, and compliance with Head Start Program Performance Standards.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include local public and private entities with the capacity to run the program. Specifically listed eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, independent school districts, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement explicitly confirms that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the program and funding opportunity requirements. At the same time, certain entities are not eligible: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships cannot compete for or receive awards under this announcement. Overall, eligibility is structured to allow a range of community-based providers, education entities, and local governments to apply, as long as they can demonstrate the organizational capacity and compliance readiness required of a Head Start grantee.
Key dates in the source information show the opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating it is now a past (archived) competition, but the summary still reflects what was required at the time and how ACF structured the competition for selecting a grantee in that Texas service area.
