Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - City of San Antonio (including Bexar County), Texas," is a discretionary federal funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It invites organizations within the local community to apply to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in the City of San Antonio and throughout Bexar County, Texas. The core purpose is to fund comprehensive early childhood services under the Head Start program, which typically includes early learning, health screenings and referrals, family support services, and other wraparound supports designed to promote school readiness and family well-being.

The opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0502 and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the instrument type is a grant. ACF indicates an expected total annual funding amount of $49,147,922 to support Head Start program services in the service area. The notice also lists an award ceiling of $49,147,922 and an award floor of $0, reflecting that awards depend on the outcome of the competition and the scope of applications selected for funding. ACF anticipates making up to six awards, suggesting the service area and funded enrollment may be divided among multiple grantees rather than a single provider.

A broad range of applicant types may compete, as long as they meet federal eligibility requirements and have the capacity to operate Head Start. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Certain public entities are also listed as eligible, such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized).

At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity.

The funding announcement includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared for some level of non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and the specific terms of the award.
