Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive Head Start grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Office of Head Start. It is intended to select one grantee to deliver Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in a defined service area in Virginia: the Cities of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Harrisonburg, along with Augusta, Bath, Highland, and Rockingham Counties. The overall purpose is to ensure that comprehensive Head Start services (early learning, health, family support, and related required program components under Head Start rules) are available to low-income and otherwise eligible preschool-aged children and their families within those localities.
The grant is a discretionary award and will be issued as a standard grant, with an expectation of a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The estimated total funding available is $2,114,710 per year, and the award ceiling matches that amount, meaning the maximum annual federal funding anticipated for the selected applicant is $2,114,710. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically reflects that the final amount depends on the approved application and budget, but the announcement clearly signals the target annual funding level for operating the program in that service area. The funding activity is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start).
Eligibility is broad but still structured around organizations capable of operating a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies within the community. The eligible applicant types listed also include city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, private and public institutions of higher education, small businesses, and federally recognized tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition. There is also a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the grantee will be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements as applicable under program rules.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted April 19, 2012, with an application closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing is archived as of July 19, 2012, which signals the competition period has ended, but the details remain useful for understanding the program scope and requirements for similar future opportunities.
For applicants seeking guidance beyond the basic notice, the announcement provides two main support contacts. Program-related questions and additional information can be requested by emailing the OHS Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
