Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Genesee County, Michigan" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0373), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in Genesee County, Michigan. Head Start funding is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services, which typically include early learning, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and other program elements required under Head Start regulations, with a strong focus on supporting school readiness and family well-being.
ACF indicates that approximately $14,943,662 per year is available to provide these Head Start services in Genesee County. The opportunity anticipated up to three awards, suggesting ACF may fund more than one provider or structure awards in a way that supports multiple service areas or approaches within the county. The award ceiling is listed as $14,943,662 and the award floor is $0, meaning the final award amounts could vary depending on how ACF decides to fund successful applicants and how applications are proposed and scoped.
A key feature of this announcement is broad organizational eligibility within the community. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), and for-profit agencies. The eligible applicant types listed also include city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, independent school districts, and public or private institutions of higher education, as well as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly stated as eligible as long as they meet standard eligibility requirements. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
The grant falls under CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 93.600, which is the federal assistance listing for Head Start. It is categorized under "Income Security and Social Services," reflecting Head Start's role as both an early childhood education initiative and a family support program. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee(s) should expect to meet a non-federal share requirement consistent with Head Start rules (for example, through allowable in-kind contributions or other approved sources), rather than relying exclusively on federal dollars.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012. While those dates reflect the original competition cycle for this specific posting, the summary details are still useful for understanding what ACF typically looks for when recompeting or soliciting new providers for Head Start services in a defined geographic area.
