Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Huntsville, Madison, and Limestone Counties, Alabama" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0354), is a discretionary grant competition offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through 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 Huntsville and across Madison and Limestone Counties in Alabama. The funding is intended to support comprehensive Head Start services, which typically include early childhood education, health and developmental screenings and referrals, family engagement supports, and other required program components under Head Start rules and performance standards.
The announcement indicates that approximately $3,428,224 in annual funding is available for this service area, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount. The expected number of awards is two, suggesting ACF may fund more than one provider to cover the geographic area and eligible population. The program is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under income security and social services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning awardees should expect to meet non-federal match obligations consistent with Head Start grant requirements, rather than operating solely on federal funds.
A wide range of applicant types may apply, reflecting the program's community-based delivery model. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), faith-based and community-based organizations that meet Head Start eligibility requirements, tribal governments (federally recognized), county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public/state-controlled and private), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities, as specified). However, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity.
Key administrative details include the posting date of May 16, 2012, with an application due date (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. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, but the summary remains useful for understanding how ACF competed and awarded Head Start services for that Alabama service area.
