Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Head Start replacement grant issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), aimed specifically at continuing Head Start services in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The purpose is to ensure uninterrupted early childhood education, health, and family support services in the community after the prior grantee, Rockingham Community Action, ceased serving in this role. In practical terms, ACF is looking for a new organization to take over and operate the local Head Start program at roughly the same scale as before, maintaining access for eligible children and families in the county.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA 93.600, Head Start) with an expected single award. Annual funding of $1,519,701 is available, which also functions as the award ceiling; the award floor is listed as $0. The prior program served a funded enrollment of 177 children and families, which signals the approximate service capacity applicants should be prepared to operate or support. Because this is a replacement grant, proposals are generally expected to demonstrate readiness to deliver full Head Start programming quickly and effectively, including meeting Head Start Program Performance Standards and providing comprehensive services that typically include early learning, health screenings and follow-up, nutrition support, family engagement, and services for children with disabilities.
Eligibility is broad but defined. ACF will consider applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that meet applicable requirements), as well as certain local for-profit organizations. The eligible applicant types listed include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, city/township and county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement. The listing also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to document non-federal share arrangements consistent with Head Start rules and the full announcement details.
Key dates and submission requirements are clearly stated. The opportunity was posted May 12, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, submissions had to be completed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, which matters for historical reference and for understanding that the specific competition window has passed, even though the summary still describes the original competition parameters.
Prospective 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 those materials were also made available through www.headstartgrants.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provided support through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement and official details were referenced through an ACF grants link associated with Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R01-0218, which is the primary identifier for tracking the solicitation.
