Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Communities within Los Angeles County, California" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0481), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The goal is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in specified communities within Los Angeles County, California. In practical terms, this competition is meant to identify capable local providers that can deliver comprehensive early childhood education and family support services consistent with Head Start requirements.
ACF indicated an estimated total of $197,524,305 in annual funding available for this service area. The agency anticipated making between 1 and 24 awards, which suggests that funding could be distributed across multiple grantees depending on the geographic scope of proposed service areas, program capacity, and the strength of applications received. The award ceiling is listed as $197,524,305 and the award floor is $0, signaling that the actual award size would depend on the approved program design and the portion of the service area an applicant is proposing to cover. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, aligning with Head Start's role in supporting school readiness and family well-being.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of entity types, such as local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) community-based and faith-based organizations), as well as for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public/state controlled and private), and federally recognized tribal governments. The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are eligible. At the same time, the opportunity excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards.
The announcement includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect that some portion of program costs must be covered through non-federal resources or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with Head Start and ACF grant rules. Applicants would need to account for this requirement in their project budget and supporting documentation.
