Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee - Brevard County, Florida" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0225), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a new organization to continue operating Head Start services in Brevard County, Florida. The main purpose is continuity of services for eligible young children and their families in the same service area previously served by the former grantee, Childcare Association of Brevard County, Inc. In practical terms, ACF is looking for a replacement operator that can take over and maintain program delivery with minimal disruption, while meeting all federal Head Start performance, fiscal, and reporting requirements.
The funding is structured as a discretionary grant under the Income Security and Social Services activity category (CFDA 93.600 - Head Start). ACF anticipated making one award for this service area, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $4,633,843. The award ceiling is listed as $4,633,843, with an award floor of $0, meaning proposals could technically request up to the full annual amount available, depending on the approved program design and budget. The previous grantee served a funded enrollment of 624 children and families, which gives applicants a clear sense of the scale of operations expected, including the staffing, facilities, transportation (if applicable), comprehensive services, and family engagement infrastructure needed to support that enrollment level.
Eligibility is fairly broad and is designed to attract capable local providers. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements), as well as local for-profit organizations. The eligible applicant types listed also include county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and both public and private institutions of higher education. The announcement specifically notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, which is consistent with Head Start's typical non-federal share expectation. Applicants would need to plan for meeting that requirement through allowable cash or in-kind contributions and be prepared to document and track those contributions in compliance with federal rules. Because this is a replacement grantee competition, applicants should expect that the application would need to demonstrate strong readiness to operate quickly, maintain service quality, and manage federal funds responsibly, including adequate governance, financial systems, facilities planning, and community partnerships.
Key dates in the posted information show the opportunity was posted on May 12, 2011, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the announcement emphasizes a strict electronic submission cutoff of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, which indicates it is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference for similar Head Start replacement grantee announcements.
