Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Grantee - Little River, Miller, Sevier, and Howard Counties, Arkansas opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (HHS-ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). It is designed to select one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in four counties in southwest Arkansas: Little River, Miller, Sevier, and Howard. The intent is to ensure that comprehensive early childhood services are available locally, consistent with Head Start program requirements and performance standards.

The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services under CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start).

The grantee is generally responsible for meeting federal Head Start Program Performance Standards, operating strong governance and fiscal systems, and ensuring services are accessible and high-quality for the communities served.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the capacity to run a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local governments (county, city, township), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities).
