Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Head Start Grantee - Lucas County, Ohio" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R05 0768) was a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). Its purpose was to solicit applicants to operate Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in Lucas County, Ohio, with an annual funding amount listed as $12,233,037. The announcement was later cancelled, and applicants were directed instead to a replacement "Birth to Five" funding opportunity for the same area (HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R05 0772), indicating the competition was superseded rather than proceeding under the original posting.
As published, ACF anticipated making up to three awards. The total estimated funding matched the stated award ceiling of $12,233,037, while the award floor was $500,000, suggesting the federal agency expected either multiple grants that together could approach the total amount or one large award depending on how applications and service plans were structured. The grant fell under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start's role in early childhood development, family support, and comprehensive services for low-income communities. A cost-sharing or matching requirement was indicated as "Yes," meaning awardees would have been expected to meet Head Start's non-federal share requirements (typically satisfied through a mix of cash and allowable in-kind contributions), though the specific details would normally be spelled out in the full announcement and Head Start regulations.
Eligibility was broad and included a mix of local public and private entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations, small businesses, certain for-profit organizations (other than small businesses, which were separately listed), county and city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, tribal governments (federally recognized), and public or private institutions of higher education. The notice explicitly stated that faith-based organizations meeting the eligibility requirements could apply and referenced ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, it clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under the announcement.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 23, 2013, with a creation date of August 29, 2013. The original closing date was October 21, 2013, but the current closing date listed was August 30, 2013, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was September 30, 2013, which aligns with the record being closed out after cancellation and replacement by the new Birth to Five FOA. Because the announcement was cancelled, prospective applicants would need to rely on the successor FOA (HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R05 0772) for active application instructions, program scope, and requirements.
For support and questions, the announcement pointed applicants to multiple contacts. Technical assistance for accessing the full announcement was available through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. Program or operational questions were directed to the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via DRS@headstartinfo.org. An additional information link was provided through the ACF grants site corresponding to the FOA number, though the key takeaway is that the original FOA is no longer active and applicants should consult the replacement posting for Lucas County, Ohio.
