Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - George County, Mississippi" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0475), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to fund a single organization to operate Head Start services in George County, Mississippi. The purpose is to support comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible children and their families in the county, consistent with the Head Start program's broader focus on early childhood education, health, and family well-being.
ACF anticipated making one award, with an estimated annual funding level of $1,112,338. The award ceiling matches that amount, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating the final amount would depend on the proposed scope and compliance with program and budget requirements. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect that the award will not necessarily cover 100% of allowable program costs and that some form of non-federal share would be required under Head Start rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private entities capable of operating the program, including nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the requirements, and for-profit agencies. The eligible applicant list also includes various governmental and education-related entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and public or private institutions of higher education, as well as federally recognized tribal governments. While many organization types can apply, certain applicants are explicitly not eligible: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships may not compete for or receive an award under this announcement.
The opportunity was originally posted on May 16, 2012, with the application deadline set for August 14, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing shows an archive date of August 15, 2012, reflecting that the competition period has closed.
For organizations seeking more details about the Head Start services expected in George County or about the competition generally, ACF directed interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or submitting materials, applicants were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
