Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Towns of Middletown and Port Jervis, New York" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0656), is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It invites organizations to compete to become the Head Start grantee serving eligible children and families living specifically in the Towns of Middletown and Port Jervis, New York. The purpose is to fund the delivery of comprehensive Head Start program services, which typically include early childhood education, health and developmental screenings and referrals, family engagement and support services, and other program components required under Head Start rules and performance standards.
The annual funding amount available is $1,671,097, and the announcement anticipates making one award. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $1,671,097, indicating ACF expected to fund a single provider at that set level rather than a range of award sizes. The program is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls within the broader funding activity category of income security and social services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet applicable non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start grant rules.
Eligible applicants include a wide mix of local public and private entities and organizations that can operate Head Start services in the community. This includes nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), local governments (such as city/township and county governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, private and public institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement also highlights that community-based and faith-based organizations are eligible if they meet standard eligibility requirements, and it points faith-based applicants to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this announcement.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of July 23, 2013, with an application closing date of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity is archived as of November 20, 2013, which indicates the competition has closed, but the listing remains useful as a reference for the scope, funding level, and eligibility framework ACF used for this service area.
For applicant support and additional details, the announcement directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org for more information about the service area competition.
