Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start, announced a competitive grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Lucas County, Ohio. This is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is aimed at supporting comprehensive early childhood services that typically include early learning, health, mental health, nutrition, family well-being supports, and active parent and community engagement. The opportunity invites qualified agencies already rooted in the community to compete to become the Head Start grantee serving this county.
Funding for this project was listed at $12,904,819 per year in estimated total annual funding, with an award ceiling of the same amount and no stated award floor, indicating flexibility in how awards could be structured depending on the number of grantees selected and the approved service approach. ACF anticipated making up to three awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should expect to document and meet a non-federal share requirement consistent with Head Start rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can operate public-facing human services programs. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, and for-profit agencies located within the community. The eligibility list also includes government and education entities such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
