Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a Head Start grantee to serve children and families living in Lincoln and Union Parishes, Louisiana. The purpose is to fund the delivery of Head Start program services for eligible children and their families in that specific geographic area, consistent with the Head Start mission of promoting school readiness and supporting families through comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0506, under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with an activity category of Income Security and Social Services. ACF anticipated making one award under this announcement, meaning the competition was intended to result in a single organization being selected to operate the Head Start program for the two-parish service area.
Annual funding available was listed at $2,016,103, and the award ceiling matched that amount, with an award floor of $0. The grant includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the selected grantee would be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements (commonly met through allowable in-kind contributions and other approved sources, depending on program rules). The total estimated funding for the opportunity was also $2,016,103, reflecting the annual amount available for the program’s operations.
Eligibility was broad and included a range of entity types that could apply, provided they met the program and announcement requirements. Eligible applicants included local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations, and for-profit agencies, as well as certain governmental entities (county and city/township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, institutions of higher education (public, private, and state-controlled), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement explicitly stated that faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility requirements are eligible. At the same time, it excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations from competing for or receiving awards.
Key dates indicate the announcement was posted and created on April 19, 2012. Applications were due by July 18, 2012, with electronic submissions required no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012, indicating the competition window had closed after the deadline.
For applicants seeking more details about the program or competition, the notice provided two main support contacts. Program-related questions and additional information could be requested by emailing the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
