Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Contra Costa County, California" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0443), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to fund organizations that will deliver Head Start program services to eligible children and families living in Contra Costa County, California. The program falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). In practical terms, ACF is inviting qualified local providers to compete to operate Head Start services in the county, following federal Head Start performance standards and program requirements.
The available funding is substantial, with an estimated total annual amount of $17,242,276 to support Head Start services in the service area. The notice indicates an award ceiling equal to the total amount listed ($17,242,276) and an award floor of $0, meaning award sizes may vary depending on how ACF structures the final awards and how many grantees are selected. ACF anticipated making about four awards, which suggests the countywide service area could be divided among multiple grantees or that multiple program operators may be funded to cover different communities, enrollment slots, or service models. The opportunity also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to document and commit allowable non-federal share resources in accordance with Head Start and ACF grant rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that operate in or serve the community. Eligible applicants include local and tribal governments (including federally recognized Native American tribal governments), county and city governments, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement emphasizes that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet the standard requirements. At the same time, certain applicants are explicitly not eligible, including individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships. This eligibility framing is consistent with Head Start competitions that aim to bring in capable organizations with sufficient governance, fiscal controls, and program delivery capacity to meet federal standards.
The original posting date and creation date for the opportunity were April 19, 2012, and the application closing date was July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012, meaning it is no longer open, but the details remain relevant as an example of how ACF structures Head Start service area competitions and what types of applicants and requirements are typically involved.
For applicants or interested parties seeking more details at the time, the notice pointed to an ACF web posting for the full announcement and provided contact channels for assistance and questions. Program-related inquiries could be directed to the Office of Head Start Operations Center via DRS@headstartinfo.org. Technical difficulties accessing or submitting the application were handled through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. These contacts reflect the two typical tracks of support for federal grants: programmatic guidance through the program office and technical submission support through the grants/application help desk.
