Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - St. Mary and Vermilion Parishes, Louisiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0507), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in St. Mary and Vermilion Parishes, Louisiana. It is a discretionary grant under the Income Security and Social Services activity category, associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The funding is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services that align with the Head Start program model, which typically includes education, health, mental health, nutrition, family engagement, and related support designed to promote school readiness and strengthen family well-being.
The total estimated funding available is $4,298,002 per year, and the award ceiling is also $4,298,002, meaning the opportunity is structured to fund one grantee at roughly that annual level. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates there is no guaranteed minimum amount for an award, though the posted funding level signals the expected annual operating amount for the service area. One award was expected to be made, so applicants were competing to become (or remain) the primary Head Start provider for those two parishes. The announcement also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant would need to meet whatever non-federal share expectations apply under Head Start rules and the specific terms in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local and regional entities that could reasonably run a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local public agencies and private organizations such as 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, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that specific category), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (including for-profit entities other than small businesses). The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet the general requirements. At the same time, certain applicants are clearly excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted on April 19, 2012, with the application due date set for July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was archived the next day, July 19, 2012, which indicates it is no longer accepting applications and is maintained in the archive for reference and recordkeeping.
For applicants seeking more details at the time, the notice directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org for additional information. It also provides technical support contact information for those who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, pointing to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
