Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Berkeley and Dorchester Counties, South Carolina is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The purpose of the funding is to select one or more new organizations to continue delivering Head Start services in these two counties after the prior grantee, the Berkeley Dorchester Counties Economic Development Corporation, ceased serving in that role. In practical terms, this is a continuity award: ACF is looking for a capable local provider (or providers) that can step in and maintain uninterrupted early childhood education, health, family support, and related Head Start program services for eligible children and families in the same service area.
The announcement makes up to $3,945,511 available per year to operate the Head Start program in Berkeley and Dorchester Counties. The prior grant supported a funded enrollment of 617 children (and the associated family services), which gives applicants a clear sense of the approximate scale of operations expected, including staffing, facilities, program design, compliance systems, and community partnerships needed to serve that many children. While the notice lists an award ceiling of $3,945,511 and an award floor of $0, the main takeaway is that the total annual funding available is about $3.95 million for Head Start services in the targeted counties, and the government anticipates making up to two awards.
Eligibility is focused on organizations that can realistically operate Head Start locally in the service area. ACF indicates that local public or private nonprofit organizations may apply, including faith-based organizations, and it also allows local for-profit organizations to compete. The broader eligibility list includes various governmental entities (city/township, county, state, independent school districts, and public housing authorities), tribal governments and tribal organizations, and higher education institutions, but the eligibility narrative emphasizes being a community-based entity able to provide Head Start services in Berkeley and Dorchester Counties. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible. The listing also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared for non-federal share expectations typical of Head Start awards.
Administratively, this opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0099, with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start) and an activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity was posted March 24, 2010, with an application due date of May 24, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The announcement was later archived on June 23, 2010, which indicates it is no longer accepting applications, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope and requirements of that particular competition.
For prospective applicants at the time, ACF directed interested organizations to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and further guidance. The notice also provides support channels for access issues, including the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). The full announcement was available through an ACF grants webpage linked in the posting, where applicants would typically find detailed program requirements, selection criteria, required attachments and forms, and instructions for demonstrating capacity to operate Head Start at the stated enrollment level in Berkeley and Dorchester Counties.
