Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens and Richmond Counties, New York," is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to award grant funding to organizations that can operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in the five New York City borough counties listed in the announcement: New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, and Richmond (Staten Island). The program falls under the broader federal category of income security and social services and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start).
ACF is making a large pool of funding available for this service area: an estimated total of $198,860,749 per year. The notice indicates ACF expects to make between 1 and 50 awards, which suggests funding may be distributed among multiple providers depending on application quality, proposed service coverage, and program capacity. The award ceiling is listed as $198,860,749 and the award floor is $0, reflecting that a single award could, in theory, cover the full amount, while the agency also retains flexibility in making smaller awards or none if applications do not meet requirements. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement states there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should plan for some level of non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and the terms described in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad but specific. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, and also allows for-profit agencies to apply (including categories beyond small businesses). The eligibility list also includes county governments, city or township 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 tribal governments. At the same time, the opportunity clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards. Faith-based organizations are explicitly noted as eligible as long as they meet the standard program and grant requirements.
In practical terms, the applicant selected (or selected organizations) would be responsible for delivering Head Start program services to eligible children and their families in the targeted counties. While the brief summary does not list every operational detail, Head Start grants generally require the grantee to demonstrate the ability to provide comprehensive early childhood services and to meet federal Head Start Program Performance Standards, including strong program governance and fiscal oversight, family engagement, health and developmental supports, and coordination with local community resources. Because ACF anticipates multiple awards, applicants would typically need to describe the geographic areas and populations they propose to serve, their organizational capacity, and how they will ensure quality and compliance at scale.
Key dates in the source data show the opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating the listing is historical, though the information remains useful for understanding how ACF structures these Head Start service area competitions and the types of entities that are permitted to apply.
