Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2011 ACF OHS CH R06 0236) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It is designed to select one or more new organizations to take over and continue Head Start services in a specific Southeast Texas service area covering Calhoun, DeWitt, Jackson, Lavaca, Gonzales, and Victoria Counties. The central purpose is continuity: the funding is intended to maintain Head Start programming that had previously been delivered by the former grantee, Advocates for Children and Families, so eligible children and families in these counties do not lose access to comprehensive early childhood services.
The opportunity makes available approximately $4,280,879 per year to operate Head Start program services in this region. The former grantee’s funded enrollment level was 686 children and families, which signals the approximate scale of services applicants should be prepared to operate or transition into, subject to the requirements and final award decisions. The award ceiling is listed as $4,280,879, with an award floor of $0, and ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing is CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to meet Head Start’s non-federal share expectations (typically handled through allowable in-kind contributions and other approved sources, consistent with program rules).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local and regional entities capable of running a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), faith-based and community organizations that meet the standard eligibility requirements, certain for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement. Overall, ACF is looking for an organization with the capacity to administer Head Start in compliance with federal performance standards, maintain service continuity across multiple counties, and support eligible children and families with the full range of Head Start components.
Key timing details show the announcement was posted May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov, the deadline is no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
