Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Communities of South Vermont and Green Meadows within Los Angeles County, California," is a discretionary federal grant competition released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The goal is to identify one or more qualified organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living specifically in the South Vermont and Green Meadows communities of Los Angeles County, California. The program sits within the broader public service area of income security and social services and is tied to CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start).
ACF is seeking applicants that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services, meaning not only early childhood education but also the wraparound supports Head Start is known for, such as family engagement, health and developmental screenings, nutrition services, and coordinated referrals that strengthen family stability. The announcement emphasizes serving eligible children and their families in the defined service area, so applications are expected to show a clear plan for community-based operations, recruitment and enrollment, and service delivery that meets Head Start Program Performance Standards.
Funding is substantial. The notice indicates approximately $9,159,269 per year available for program services, with an estimated total funding level listed at $9,218,186 and an award ceiling of $9,218,186 (with no stated award floor). ACF anticipated making up to two awards, suggesting that the service area or funded enrollment could be split across two grantees or otherwise structured to ensure coverage and quality. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, which is consistent with typical Head Start rules that require non-federal share (often met through allowable in-kind contributions as well as cash, depending on the applicant and circumstances).
Eligibility is broad, reflecting Head Start's community-based approach. Local public or private nonprofit organizations may apply, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit agencies. The eligible applicant types listed include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), private and public institutions of higher education, small businesses and other for-profit organizations (excluding small business limitations in the listing only as a category; the FOA includes both), county governments, cities or townships, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this FOA.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a time-limited competition with a posted date of April 19, 2012, and an application due date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The record shows an archive date of July 19, 2012, meaning the competition has been closed for years, but the details remain useful as a reference for how ACF structures Head Start recompetition opportunities and what categories of organizations are commonly eligible.
