Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it seeks applicants to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Butte, Sutter, and Yuba Counties in California. The competition is for a Head Start grantee (or grantees) to deliver comprehensive early childhood services that align with Head Start requirements, serving children and engaging families across the three-county service area. The program focus falls under Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start.
ACF indicates that approximately $8,980,412 in annual funding is available for this service area, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount and an award floor of $0. The agency anticipated making up to three awards, which suggests funding could be divided among multiple operators or service models depending on the applications received and the final award decisions. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, meaning applicants must compete and be selected through the federal review process rather than receiving funds by formula.
Eligibility is fairly broad and is intended to capture the kinds of entities that commonly run Head Start programs at the local level. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the requirements, and for-profit agencies. The eligibility list also includes county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public and private institutions of higher education, as well as small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also explicitly listed). 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 notice.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, which is consistent with Head Start’s federal non-federal share expectations. While the summary text does not specify the percentage or the mechanics, applicants should expect to document how the required non-federal share will be met and tracked (often through allowable in-kind contributions or other approved sources), and should be prepared to address this clearly in the application budget and narrative.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application due date of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the archive date is listed as August 15, 2012. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0439, and the title is "Head Start Grantee - Butte, Sutter, and Yuba Counties, California."
