Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Mobile and Washington Counties, Alabama" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0486), is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The goal is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Mobile County and Washington County, Alabama. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized within income security and social services.
ACF made an estimated total of $9,170,571 available on an annual basis to support the delivery of Head Start program services in the designated service area. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $9,170,571 and an award floor of $0, with an expectation of up to two awards, meaning ACF anticipated either splitting the service area among multiple grantees or making one primary award depending on applicant capacity and the service plan proposed. As a Head Start competition, applicants would be expected to demonstrate the ability to meet all Head Start Program Performance Standards and federal requirements, including comprehensive child development services and strong family engagement, as well as the administrative and fiscal systems needed to manage a large federal award.
Eligibility is broad and is designed to allow the strongest local provider to compete. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, and for-profit agencies. A range of governmental and education entities may also apply, including city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education. The notice specifically excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing or receiving awards under this announcement. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, which is consistent with Head Start's non-federal share requirement, meaning the selected grantee would need to document qualifying non-federal contributions (often through cash or in-kind support) as part of operating the program.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an application deadline of August 14, 2012.
