Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking one organization to operate a Head Start program serving eligible children and families who live in Wayne County, Indiana. This is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) intended to fund comprehensive early childhood services for low-income preschool-age children and to support families through related health, education, and family engagement programming. The announcement makes clear that ACF is inviting competition from organizations within the community that are capable of running Head Start services that meet federal program standards and requirements.
The funding available is $1,846,106 per year, with an estimated total funding amount listed at the same level and an award ceiling of $1,846,106. The expected number of awards is one, meaning applicants are competing to become the Head Start grantee for this service area rather than splitting funds among multiple recipients. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected grantee should be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share expectations in accordance with program rules (for example, through allowable in-kind contributions and other approved sources, as permitted by Head Start regulations and guidance).
A wide range of applicant types are eligible. ACF lists eligible applicants as local public or private entities, including nonprofits (such as 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, and for-profit agencies. In addition, several government and education-related entities are included as eligible, 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, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0399, titled "Head Start Grantee - Wayne County, Indiana." It was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application deadline of July 18, 2012. The submission instructions emphasize that electronic applications had to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing indicates an archive date of July 19, 2012, which signals that this specific competition window has closed, though the summary still reflects how the funding was structured and who could apply.
For applicants or interested parties seeking clarification during the competition period, the announcement directs questions to the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org for additional information about the opportunity. For technical problems accessing the full announcement or submitting an application electronically, ACF provided a separate contact point through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
