Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant for Delaware County, Indiana is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), designed to keep local Head Start services running without interruption after the previous provider, Action Inc. of Delaware County, stopped serving as the grantee. The grant is intended to fund an organization that can step in and operate a full Head Start program for eligible children and families in Delaware County, continuing the scope of services that were previously available in the community. In practical terms, the goal is continuity: maintaining access to early childhood education, comprehensive family services, and related supports that Head Start programs are required to provide.
Funding available under this opportunity is $1,574,004 per year, and the announcement indicates a single expected award. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,574,004, with an award floor of $0, meaning the amount is structured around a single grant at roughly that annual level rather than multiple smaller awards. The former grantee served a funded enrollment of 257 children and families, which gives applicants a clear benchmark for the scale of programming that ACF expects the replacement grantee to be capable of operating. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the opportunity falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for the non-federal share expectations that typically accompany Head Start funding.
Eligibility is broad for an opportunity of this type, reflecting the need to identify a capable local operator quickly. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that otherwise meet the requirements), as well as local for-profit organizations. Eligible applicant types specifically include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations, along with for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement also clarifies that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this competition.
Key logistics and deadlines are clearly spelled out. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0232, and the original and current closing date listed is July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting electronically through Grants.gov, the application had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Because this is an archived opportunity (archive date listed as December 23, 2011), these dates describe the historical competition, but they remain important as the official record for the announcement.
For organizations that were preparing to apply at the time, ACF directed interested applicants to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The same pre-application materials for the service area were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or dealing with electronic submission issues were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement was hosted by ACF, with an additional information link pointing to the FOA page associated with the opportunity.
