Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grant - Barton, Butler, Greenwood, Harvey, Pawnee and Rice Counties, Kansas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0264), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant designed to keep Head Start services running in six Kansas counties by selecting one or more new providers to take over services previously delivered by Mid Kansas Community Action Program, Inc. The overall goal is continuity of comprehensive early childhood and family support services for eligible low-income children and their families in the specified service area.
The announcement makes available an estimated total of $2,344,318 per year to operate the Head Start program in these counties, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount. The former grantee was funded to serve a total funded enrollment of 328 children and families, which gives applicants a clear benchmark for the expected scale of services, staffing, facilities, and community partnerships needed to run the program. Up to two awards were anticipated, meaning ACF could select either a single organization to cover the entire service area or split the service area across multiple grantees, depending on application strength and program design.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private entities capable of administering Head Start. Specifically, eligibility includes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based and community organizations that meet the requirements), certain government entities (such as city or township governments, county governments, and independent school districts), institutions of higher education (public/state-controlled and private), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. At the same time, the notice clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this announcement. The program is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and it carries a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share rules (the specific percentages and allowable sources are typically detailed in the full announcement and related Head Start regulations).
The timeline details show the opportunity was posted on August 2, 2011, with an application closing date of October 3, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be filed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, which indicates it was a time-limited competition tied to replacing the prior provider and maintaining uninterrupted services for families.
For organizations considering applying, ACF directed interested applicants to obtain pre-application materials and added guidance by calling the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. Those materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org, reflecting that this was a specialized replacement competition where applicants needed service-area-specific information (such as community needs, funded enrollment expectations, center locations, and transition considerations). For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement was linked through ACFs grants portal at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open/foa/view/HHS 2011 ACF OHS CH R07 0264, where applicants would find the detailed program requirements, evaluation criteria, submission instructions, and the documentation needed to demonstrate capacity to operate Head Start services at the required scale and quality level.
