Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0465) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intended to fund an organization (or organizations) to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Bland, Smyth, Tazewell, and Wythe Counties in Virginia. The grant sits under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The goal is to ensure comprehensive Head Start programming is available locally, which generally means early childhood education along with family-focused supports and required health, developmental, and social services components that Head Start programs must provide.
The announcement indicates approximately $2,860,631 in annual funding is available for Head Start program services in the service area, with an award ceiling listed at $2,860,631 and an award floor of $0. ACF anticipated making up to two awards (Expected Awards: 2), meaning one or more applicants could be selected to deliver services depending on how the competition and service delivery plan are structured. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to document and commit the non-federal share that Head Start typically requires (often satisfied through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash, consistent with program rules and the final award terms).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local entities that can demonstrate capacity to run a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local and state governments (including county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The notice specifically highlights that community-based and faith-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet the standard requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
