Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0803) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), to select a replacement organization to operate Head Start services in the City of Alamosa, Colorado. The purpose is to keep Head Start services going locally by awarding funds to a new grantee that can continue the work previously carried out by the former grantee, Alamosa Head Start, Inc., with the focus on serving eligible children and their families in the Alamosa service area.
ACF expects to make one award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $987,663 and an award ceiling of $987,663. The prior program was funded to serve a total enrollment of 161 children and families, which gives applicants a sense of the program size and service volume ACF expects to maintain. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document allowable non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and the full announcement instructions.
Eligibility is primarily aimed at local, community-based entities capable of delivering Head Start services in Alamosa. ACF states that eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) and local for-profit organizations in the community to be served. The broader eligibility list also references various public entities and institution types (such as city/township and county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and certain higher education institutions), but the key eligibility limitation emphasized in the notice is that the applicant must be a local organization able to provide Head Start services to children and families residing in the City of Alamosa. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible under this announcement.
The application timeline posted with the opportunity lists an original and current closing date of June 16, 2008, with a specific electronic submission requirement: applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.

Prospective applicants were directed to request pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591.
In addition to applications, ACF invited public input from parents and residents in the service area. These comments were intended to help ACF better understand community needs in Alamosa and were not meant to advocate for or against any particular applicant. Public comments were to be sent to the ACYF Operations Center, aligning with ACFs emphasis on ensuring the selected replacement grantee is responsive to local needs.
