Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant - Brooklyn, New York is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intended to keep Head Start services operating in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn. The service area is specifically limited to zip codes 11201 and 11205, and the central purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking a new organization to take over and continue the Head Start services that were previously delivered by the former grantee, Brooklyn Child and Family Services, Inc. The grant supports comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible children and their families, and the prior award supported an enrollment level of 83 children and families, which gives applicants a clear sense of the expected scale of operations.
Funding under this announcement is listed at $894,681 per year, with an estimated total funding amount that matches that annual figure. The award ceiling is also $894,681, and the award floor is $0. ACF anticipated making one award for this competition, meaning applicants were competing for a single replacement grantee slot to run the program in this defined Brooklyn community. The activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding instrument is a grant. The CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 93.600, which corresponds to the Head Start program.
Eligibility is broad within the boundaries of Head Start rules. ACF invited applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations that meet the program requirements, and local for-profit organizations. In addition, several types of governmental and education entities are listed as eligible, including city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and eligible Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. At the same time, the notice makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, which is common in Head Start funding and typically relates to the required non-federal share; applicants would need to address how they will meet that obligation as part of a compliant application.
The timeline in the source notice shows the opportunity was posted on May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the submission deadline was no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The record also indicates the opportunity was later archived (archive date December 23, 2011), which is helpful context for anyone reviewing it historically.
For organizations that wanted to apply, ACF directed interested applicants to obtain pre-application materials and additional instructions by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The same pre-application materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org.
