Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a discretionary grant competition to select a single replacement grantee to operate Head Start services for children and families living in Blackstone Valley and Providence, Rhode Island. The main purpose of the opportunity is continuity: ACF is looking for an eligible organization to take over and continue Head Start programming that had previously been delivered in this service area by the former grantee, Head Start Board of Directors, Inc. The program falls under the Head Start CFDA number 93.600 and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services.
Funding available under this announcement is substantial and structured as an annual award. ACF anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $7,178,032 per year. The award ceiling is listed as $7,178,032 and the award floor is $0, indicating that proposals could be considered up to the full annual amount needed to run the program at scale. The former grantee had been funded to serve a total funded enrollment of 1,001 children and families, so applicants were effectively being asked to demonstrate they can manage an operation of roughly that size, including the staffing, facilities, oversight, and service coordination needed to meet Head Start performance expectations.
Eligibility is focused on organizations rooted in the community and capable of directly providing Head Start services in the stated geographic area. ACF limited eligibility to local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations in the community to be served, as long as they can provide Head Start services to eligible children and families in Blackstone Valley and Providence. The opportunity also lists a wide range of applicant types commonly recognized in federal funding systems (for example, local governments, tribal governments, school districts, higher education institutions, small businesses, and various nonprofit categories), but the controlling eligibility statement is the service-area requirement and the limitation to local public/private nonprofits (including faith-based) or local for-profit entities. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible. The grant includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet federal non-federal share rules associated with Head Start awards.
The application process included a specific pre-application step: interested applicants were instructed to call the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance. ACF also invited public comments from parents and residents within the service area. These comments were intended to help ACF understand community needs and priorities broadly, rather than to advocate for or against any particular applicant, and were to be submitted to the ACYF Operations Center.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0102 and a posted date of July 8, 2008. The original and current closing date was September 5, 2008, with an important submission cutoff for electronic applications through Grants.gov: no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement was archived on October 5, 2008. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Shawna Pinckney (OHS@dixongroup.com).
