Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Lancaster County, Pennsylvania" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0461), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) and falls within the broader activity area of income security and social services. The purpose is to award federal funds to an organization (or organizations) that will operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
ACF is seeking applications from a wide range of local entities that have the capacity to run Head Start programming. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), as well as for-profit agencies operating within the community. The eligibility list is broad and also includes county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. While faith-based and community organizations are explicitly welcomed as long as they meet the eligibility requirements, certain entities are not allowed to apply, including individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships.
The total estimated annual funding available for this service area is $6,733,760. The funding opportunity indicates an award ceiling of $6,733,760 and an award floor of $0, and ACF anticipated making approximately two awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee(s) must meet federal expectations for non-federal share under Head Start rules (the announcement flags this requirement even though the specific calculation details are typically handled within the full FOA and program regulations).
