Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), seeks one organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for the cities of Southfield and Lathrup Village in Oakland County, Michigan. The award is intended to fund comprehensive Head Start program services for eligible children and their families living in the designated service area. Head Start funding supports early childhood education and school readiness services, along with related family-focused supports that are central to the Head Start model, such as health, nutrition, and family engagement components delivered through an approved Head Start program.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. ACF anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,236,026. The funding range is fixed in the announcement, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $1,236,026, meaning applicants were effectively competing for one grant at a set annual funding level for the service area. The announcement also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants needed to plan for meeting applicable non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start program rules and grant conditions.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of public and private entities that can operate Head Start services in the community. This includes local governments (city/township and county governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, federally recognized tribal governments, institutions of higher education (public and private), nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status, though excluding higher education institutions when relevant), and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses, with small businesses also listed as eligible). The announcement emphasizes that community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are welcome to apply, and it directs faith-based applicants to review ACF policy on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from eligibility.
