Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant for the City of Detroit, Michigan is a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Office of Head Start. The purpose of this competition is to identify one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Detroit. The funding is intended to sustain or replace Head Start program operations in the service area, ensuring that comprehensive early childhood education and family support services continue to be available to the community.
This opportunity makes approximately $2,391,452 available each year to serve 318 eligible children and their families through Head Start programming. The announcement indicates an expected number of awards of two, meaning ACF may fund more than one provider to cover the service area. The award ceiling is listed as $2,391,452, with an award floor of $0, which typically signals that award amounts can vary depending on how ACF structures the final awards and service delivery approach. The program is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 93.600, Head Start, and it falls under the broader federal activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
Applicants should note that a cost sharing or matching requirement applies. In Head Start, this commonly involves the non-federal share requirement (often satisfied through a mix of cash and in-kind contributions, depending on the applicant and the specifics permitted under Head Start rules). Because matching requirements can be technical and have strict documentation standards, applicants generally need to plan early for how they will meet and track the required non-federal share.
Eligibility is fairly broad and includes a range of local public and private entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based and community organizations that meet the program requirements), local governments (such as city/township and county governments), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, certain for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and eligible Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The notice specifically excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this announcement. While faith-based organizations are explicitly welcomed if they meet eligibility requirements, applicants still must comply with all applicable federal grant rules, Head Start performance standards, and any nondiscrimination and program integrity requirements tied to federal funding.
The application timeline provided in the announcement shows the opportunity was posted on May 13, 2011, with a closing date of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the deadline is emphasized: applications had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing also shows an archive date of December 23, 2011, indicating the competition is no longer active, but the information remains useful for understanding how Head Start replacement competitions are structured and what kinds of organizations ACF seeks to fund in a defined service area.
To begin the application process (during the time the competition was open), interested organizations were directed to call the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to request pre-application materials and obtain additional guidance. Those same pre-application materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org.
