Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant for Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana is a competitive federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intended to keep local Head Start services operating after the prior grantee, Southside Development Corporation, stopped serving the area. The purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking a new organization to step in and deliver the same kind of comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible young children and their families living in Jefferson Davis Parish, so families do not lose access to early childhood education, health-related supports, and family services tied to Head Start.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA 93.600, Head Start) with a single expected award. The estimated annual funding amount is $1,334,870, which is also listed as the award ceiling, and the prior funded enrollment level for the service area was 182 children and families. In practical terms, applicants are competing to become the replacement Head Start provider for that parish, with the expectation that the program capacity and service commitments will align closely with what was previously funded.
A wide range of local entities are eligible to apply, including public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), faith-based and community organizations that meet the standard eligibility requirements, and local for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education may apply, as can county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this funding opportunity. The grant also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee must meet applicable non-federal share rules or other matching expectations described in the full announcement and Head Start regulations/policies.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted May 13, 2011, with an application deadline of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov, the submission had to be completed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. While the listing is archived (archive date December 23, 2011), the details are important for understanding the structure of this type of replacement grant competition and what ACF typically requires when re-competing a service area.
Applicants were instructed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and the same pre-application materials were also made available at www.headstartgrants.org.
