Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee - Compton, Lynwood, Paramount, and South Los Angeles, California" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0229), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically supporting the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to select one or more replacement grantees to continue delivering Head Start services in the service area covering Compton, Lynwood, Paramount, and South Los Angeles County, California. The competition is intended to ensure continuity of comprehensive early childhood services previously operated by the former grantee, Charles Drew University of Los Angeles, so eligible children and families in these communities continue to have access to Head Start without disruption.
The announcement makes up to $16,493,151 available per year to operate Head Start services in this area, reflecting the scale of the program that was already in place. The former grantee was funded to serve a total funded enrollment of 1,734 children and families, which gives applicants a clear indication of the expected program capacity and operational scope. While the award ceiling is listed as $16,493,151 and the award floor as $0, the overall intent is to fund operations at a level that can sustain the Head Start model and enrollment previously supported. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to document and meet any applicable non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start grant rules.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements, and local for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). Public entities may apply as well, including city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. Institutions of higher education, including both private and public/state-controlled institutions, are listed among eligible applicant types. At the same time, the opportunity explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this announcement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted May 12, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be filed by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing indicates an expectation of up to four awards, suggesting ACF may have been open to splitting the service area or funding multiple providers depending on proposed service delivery plans and how best to ensure coverage and quality across the communities described.
For organizations interested in applying, the notice directs applicants to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591.
