Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee - Craighead, Crittenden, Cross, Greene, Jackson, Lee, Poinsett, St. Francis, and/or Woodruff Counties, Arkansas," was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to select one or more replacement organizations to continue delivering Head Start services in the listed Arkansas counties. The overall purpose is continuity of services for eligible children and families in the same service area previously served by the former grantee, Crowley's Ridge Development Council, Inc.
The announcement makes approximately $7,311,988 available each year to operate Head Start program services in the covered counties. The funding level is tied to what had been provided historically to support the local program footprint, and the prior grantee had a funded enrollment of 1,275 children and families. In practical terms, applicants are expected to demonstrate the capacity to run a full Head Start operation at scale in these counties, including maintaining enrollment, meeting performance standards, staffing, facilities, family engagement, health and developmental supports, and the other core elements required in Head Start programming.
Eligibility is focused on organizations that are local and capable of serving the community in the specified Arkansas counties. ACF states that eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The broader eligibility list also references governmental entities (such as county, city, state governments), school districts, public housing authorities, institutions of higher education, tribal governments and tribal organizations, and certain business types, but the key limiting language in the eligibility section emphasizes local entities able to provide Head Start services in the targeted service area. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and notes that a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to document and plan for the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules. The total estimated funding shown for the opportunity is $7,311,988, with an award ceiling also listed as $7,311,988 and an award floor of $0, indicating the maximum annual amount anticipated for a single award while leaving open the possibility of multiple awards or different funding configurations depending on how ACF decides to structure service delivery. The announcement projected up to three expected awards.
Key dates and submission rules are clearly stated. The opportunity was posted March 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010. For applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov, submissions had to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing indicates an archive date of June 23, 2010, reflecting that the competition window has passed, but the summary describes how the opportunity was structured at the time it was open.
For applicants seeking guidance during the application period, ACF directed interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to request pre-application materials and additional information, which is a common step in replacement grantee competitions where service area details, expectations, and transition considerations can be important. Technical assistance for difficulty accessing the full announcement was handled through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement was available online through the ACF grants portal under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0102.
