Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Swisher County, Texas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0923), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is intended to fund a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and their families living in Swisher County, Texas. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services category and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), meaning the funding supports comprehensive early childhood services that typically include education, health, nutrition, family engagement, and related support services consistent with Head Start requirements.
ACF anticipated making one award, with an annual funding amount of $638,263. The award structure in the notice is very specific: the estimated total funding, the award ceiling, and the award floor are all listed as $638,263, which signals that ACF expected one grant at that set annual level rather than a range of possible award sizes. The notice also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share rules as part of their application and ongoing grant management.
Eligible applicants were broadly defined to include many types of organizations that could reasonably operate a Head Start program within the community. This includes local public and private nonprofits (including community-based and faith-based organizations), for-profit organizations (including small businesses, but excluding individual applicants), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public, state-controlled, and private), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement is explicit that individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible; applications from those parties would be disqualified and not reviewed competitively.
Key dates in the posting show it was made public on September 24, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 24, 2014, which generally indicates the competition window had closed and the listing was no longer active for new submissions.
For applicants seeking more details about program expectations or competition logistics, the notice directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. It also provides a separate contact for technical difficulties accessing the full announcement: the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
