Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Galveston County, Texas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0503), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). It is a discretionary grant competition intended to fund organizations that can operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Galveston County, Texas. The purpose is to select one or more capable local providers to deliver comprehensive early childhood services consistent with Head Start requirements, including supports that typically cover early learning, health, family well-being, and related social services that strengthen school readiness for young children from low-income households.
ACF made approximately $2,399,042 available each year for this service area, with an annual award ceiling of $2,399,042 and no stated award floor. The announcement anticipated up to two awards, meaning ACF could fund more than one provider depending on the applications received and the program design proposed. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as income security and social services, reflecting the program's role in supporting vulnerable families through early childhood education and wraparound services.
A wide range of applicant types were considered eligible to compete.

Public entities were also eligible, including county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with private institutions of higher education. The announcement explicitly stated that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations were not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition. In addition, the opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet Head Start matching rules as part of their overall project budget and compliance plan.
