Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Caroline County, Virginia is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to select a new organization to operate Head Start services in the county. The purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking applicants who can step in and continue providing the same core Head Start program services that were previously delivered by the former grantee, Quin River for Community Action, so that eligible children and families in Caroline County do not lose access to early childhood education, family support, and related comprehensive services.
The funding level offered under this announcement is $601,064 per year, with an award ceiling of $601,064 and an award floor of $0, and ACF expects to make one award. While the former grantee operated with a funded enrollment of 95 children and families, applicants are not locked into that specific number. Instead, each applicant is expected to propose the maximum number of children and families it can serve at a high quality level using the total available funding, effectively requiring applicants to justify their proposed service level, budget, staffing plan, and approach to meeting Head Start performance expectations within the fixed annual amount.
Eligibility is focused on local capacity within the Caroline County community. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) and local for-profit organizations that can provide Head Start services to children and families residing in Caroline County, Virginia. The listing of potentially eligible entity types is broad and includes, among others, various government entities and educational institutions, but the announcement text emphasizes that awards under this specific competition are limited to local organizations capable of delivering services in the community. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible. The opportunity also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee will need to meet Head Start matching expectations as described in the full announcement and program rules.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0100) and CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start), with the activity category identified as Income Security and Social Services. The posting date is March 24, 2010, and the application deadline is May 24, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications must be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on June 23, 2010, indicating it is a past competition, but the summary describes the requirements and structure that applied to applicants at the time.
Applicants interested in preparatory guidance were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional information. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provided a separate support contact through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
