Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start, announced a competitive grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Steuben and Yates Counties in New York. This is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R02 0334) under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is focused on income security and social services. The purpose is to fund a local provider (or providers) that can deliver the full Head Start program model in the community, which typically includes comprehensive early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, nutrition supports, family engagement services, and coordination with other local resources that help children be ready for school.
Funding available under this opportunity is listed at $2,717,658 per year, which also appears as the estimated total funding and the award ceiling, meaning an individual award could be up to that amount depending on how ACF structures awards. The award floor is stated as $0, which generally indicates there is no minimum award size specified in the synopsis. ACF expected to make up to two awards, suggesting the service area might be split between more than one grantee or that ACF anticipated the possibility of funding more than one organization to cover the counties effectively.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities that can demonstrate capacity to run Head Start: public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program eligibility requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) as well as small businesses. Government entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) are also listed as eligible, along with public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The announcement specifically notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this funding opportunity.
The posting date and creation date were May 16, 2012, with an application deadline of August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, meaning it is no longer open, but the details still provide a useful snapshot of the funding level, service area, and eligibility rules used for that competition.
This funding opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start rules and the full funding announcement. For organizations looking for more details about the program requirements or the service area, the synopsis directs interested applicants to email the OHS Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement materials, ACF provided the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
