Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant for DuPage County, Illinois is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. Its purpose is to keep Head Start services going in DuPage County by selecting one or more new providers to take over services that had previously been delivered by the former grantee, Lifelink Corporation. In practical terms, ACF is looking for an organization (or organizations) that can step in and continue comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible children and families in the county, maintaining continuity of early childhood education, family support, and related required Head Start services.
The opportunity makes available an estimated $4,328,082 per year to operate the Head Start program in this service area, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount and no stated award floor. The prior program level referenced in the announcement indicates the former grantee was funded for an enrollment of 590 children and families, which signals the approximate scale of services applicants should be prepared to manage. ACF anticipated making up to two awards, meaning the service area could potentially be split among multiple providers depending on what ACF determines is best for sustaining quality and coverage.
A wide range of local entities are eligible to apply, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), faith-based and community organizations that meet federal eligibility requirements, certain government entities (such as county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, and local for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from eligibility. The grant also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is typical for Head Start awards and generally means the selected grantee must meet the applicable non-federal share rules and document how that share will be provided.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0230) and CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The application deadline for this announcement was July 12, 2011, and applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be filed by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Applicants were instructed to obtain pre-application materials by calling the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, with additional materials also available through www.headstartgrants.org.
