Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Putnam County, Georgia. The purpose is to fund the delivery of Head Start program services for eligible young children and their families in that county. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2015 ACF OHS CH R04 0938, with the activity category described as Income Security and Social Services, and it falls under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start.
The award amount is set at $1,206,395 per year, and the funding range is fixed: the award floor and ceiling are both $1,206,395, indicating ACF expects one award at that annual amount rather than a spread of possible budgets. Only one award is anticipated, meaning applicants are competing to be the sole provider responsible for operating Head Start services in the service area. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected grantee must meet the program’s non-federal share expectations under Head Start rules (the announcement notes that cost sharing is required, without detailing the percentage in the summary data provided).
Eligibility is broad within the local community context and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), for-profit organizations (with certain distinctions, since small businesses are listed separately), county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. Various higher education institutions (public/state-controlled and private) may also apply. However, the notice is clear that individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible, and foreign entities are also ineligible; applications from either category will be disqualified from competitive review.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on September 24, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on December 24, 2014, which generally indicates the competition period has concluded, though the summary still provides the original details for recordkeeping and reference.
For applicants seeking more details about program expectations or the competition, ACF points interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. If someone had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides the ACF Applications Help Desk as the support contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
