Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0227) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to take over and continue Head Start services in a specific Arkansas service area covering Craighead, Crittenden, Cross, Greene, Jackson, and Poinsett counties. The main purpose is continuity of services for eligible young children and their families in the region, replacing the prior provider, Crowleys Ridge Development Council, Inc., and ensuring the community does not lose access to comprehensive Head Start programming.
Funding for this competition is listed at $5,236,981 per year, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and no stated award floor. The previous grantee served a total funded enrollment of 913 children and families, which gives applicants a sense of the scale of operations expected, including staffing, facilities, family services, and program management capacity needed to deliver Head Start at that enrollment level. The opportunity falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start. ACF anticipated making up to three awards, indicating that funding could potentially be distributed among multiple providers depending on how ACF structures the replacement arrangement and what applications propose.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), faith-based and community organizations that meet program eligibility requirements, and certain government entities such as county governments and city or township governments. Independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and both public and private institutions of higher education are also listed as eligible. Notably, local for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) are included among eligible applicants, which is less common in some federal social services programs but explicitly allowed here. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The notice also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning an applicant should be prepared to document and budget for the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and the specifics in the full announcement. Applicants are directed to obtain pre-application materials by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and those materials are also available at www.headstartgrants.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provides support through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
Key dates in the posting show it was originally posted May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The record indicates an archive date of December 23, 2011, which generally means the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference point for how ACF structured the replacement grantee competition for that Arkansas service area.
