Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0697) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families in a defined Georgia service area. The covered counties are Bulloch, Burke, Columbia, Emanuel, Lincoln, Jenkins, Jefferson, McDuffie, Richmond, Screven, and Warren. In practical terms, the awardee(s) would be responsible for delivering comprehensive Head Start program services throughout these counties, consistent with Head Start requirements and performance standards, including early learning, family support, health, and related services for income-eligible children and their families.
The announcement anticipates up to three awards and makes approximately $10,941,160 available each year to operate services across the service area. The funding range indicates a minimum (award floor) of $500,000 and a maximum (award ceiling) of $10,941,160, suggesting that ACF could fund multiple providers or a single large provider depending on how the competition is structured and how applicants propose to serve the region. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the associated CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) is 93.600, Head Start. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share rules as part of their budgets and program designs.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private entities and organizations that can operate a Head Start program, including nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed as eligible as well), small businesses, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments (federally recognized), and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. The notice also makes clear who is not eligible: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships cannot apply or receive awards under this opportunity. Faith-based organizations are specifically encouraged to review ACF policy related to grants for faith-based groups, as referenced in the notice.
Timing details in the source indicate the opportunity was posted July 23, 2013, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is November 20, 2013, meaning this specific posting is historical, but the summary still reflects how the competition was structured and what the agency was seeking at that time.
