Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on selecting a single organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for the Cities of Patterson and Prospect Park in Passaic County, New Jersey. The purpose is to fund the delivery of Head Start services for eligible children and their families living in those communities. Head Start is designed to support school readiness and healthy development by providing comprehensive early childhood services, typically including early education, health and developmental screenings, nutrition support, family engagement, and connections to community services. The award is intended to ensure that children from low income families in the target area have access to these coordinated supports through a local provider with the capacity to operate a compliant, high quality program.
ACF anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available is $7,169,364 per year, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount and an award floor of $0 (meaning the final award level is tied to the approved application and program design, up to the maximum). The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to be prepared to meet the non-federal share requirements associated with Head Start funding, consistent with program rules.
Eligibility is broad across multiple types of organizations that can demonstrate they meet Head Start and federal grant requirements. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), as well as for-profit agencies that operate within the community. The eligible applicant list also includes county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly noted as eligible if they meet the stated requirements. At the same time, the announcement specifies that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this opportunity.
