Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Grantee opportunity for Hughes and Okfuskee Counties, Oklahoma is a discretionary federal 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 of the funding is to select a single grantee to deliver Head Start program services for eligible young children and their families living in Hughes and Okfuskee Counties. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity area and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). In practical terms, this competition is meant to ensure that families in these counties have continued access to comprehensive early childhood services, including early learning and development supports and related family services that Head Start programs typically provide.
Funding for this opportunity is set at $1,320,214 per year, and the announcement indicates an award floor and award ceiling equal to that same amount, signaling that the expected annual award size is essentially fixed. ACF anticipated making one award total, meaning one organization would be selected to operate the Head Start services for the defined service area. The notice also states that a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so an applicant would need to be prepared to meet whatever non-federal share requirements are established under Head Start rules and the specific funding announcement.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply as long as they meet the program and announcement requirements. Eligible applicants include local public or private organizations, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits that are not small businesses), local governments (county governments and city/township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement specifically notes that faith-based organizations are eligible and points applicants to ACF guidance regarding grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, it explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this opportunity.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0737 and a posted/created date of July 23, 2013. The application closing date listed is October 21, 2013, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013, indicating that this specific competition window has closed, although the summary still reflects how the opportunity was structured and who could apply.
