Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee Hawaii County (including Hilo and North/South Kona, Hawaii) opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It was created to ensure uninterrupted Head Start services in Hawaii County after the prior grantee, the Hawaii County Economic Opportunity Council, stopped serving the area as the funded provider. The goal is straightforward: select a new organization to take over and continue delivering comprehensive Head Start services to eligible young children and their families across the specified parts of Hawaii County, including Hilo and the North and South Kona regions.
Funding is available at an annual amount of $2,804,058, with an award ceiling equal to that same figure and an award floor of $0. ACF anticipated making one award, meaning the competition was intended to result in a single replacement grantee responsible for the full service area and scope described. The prior grantee’s federally funded enrollment level was 376 children and families, and applicants are expected to propose services that effectively meet that scale of need, consistent with Head Start performance requirements and community needs across the county.
This funding opportunity is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The funding instrument type is a grant. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to plan for whatever non-federal share Head Start requires (with the specific terms and allowable sources governed by Head Start regulations and the full announcement details).
Eligibility is focused on organizations located in, and capable of serving, the community in Hawaii County. ACF stated that local public or private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, and local for-profit organizations are eligible to apply if they can deliver Head Start services to children and families in the service area. The eligible applicant categories listed in the notice are broad and include various government entities (state, county, city/township), school districts, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public and private), nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses (with small businesses also listed). At the same time, the eligibility narrative clarifies that the intent is to fund a local entity in the community to be served. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
Key timing details in the notice include a posted date of March 24, 2010, and an original (and current) closing date of May 24, 2010. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the application had to 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 no longer open, but the listing documents how ACF structured the replacement-grantee competition and the requirements that applied at the time.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0104. Applicants were instructed to call the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional information, which signals that ACF expected prospective applicants to engage early to confirm service area expectations, program design requirements, and the replacement-grantee transition considerations. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
In practical terms, the award was intended to support a full Head Start program operation in Hawaii County, continuing the services previously funded for 376 enrolled children and families. That implies responsibilities typical of Head Start grantees, such as delivering comprehensive early childhood education and development services, family support, health and nutrition linkages, and program governance and accountability consistent with Head Start rules, while ensuring continuity and stability for families previously served in Hilo and the Kona areas.
