Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to select one replacement organization to operate Head Start services in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana. This competition is meant to ensure continuity of Head Start programming after the prior grantee, Southside Development Corporation, ceased serving in that role. The award focuses on maintaining access to comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children and families in the parish, consistent with Head Start requirements and expectations for high-quality program delivery.
ACF expects to make one award, with estimated total annual funding of $1,271,197, which also serves as the award ceiling. While the former grantee funded an enrollment level of 200 children and families, applicants are not locked into that exact number. Instead, each applicant must propose the maximum number of children and families it can serve effectively with the available funding while still meeting Head Start standards. The funding falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to address non-federal share expectations in their budgets and program plans, as detailed in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to organizations rooted in the community to be served that can deliver Head Start services specifically within Jefferson Davis Parish. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofits (including faith-based organizations) and local for-profit organizations. The source listing also names a broad set of potentially eligible entity types such as county and municipal governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and certain Native American tribal organizations, but the key eligibility condition is that the applicant must be local to the community and able to provide Head Start services in the named service area. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible under this announcement.
The application timeline in the announcement shows a posting date of February 20, 2009, and an application closing date of April 20, 2009. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on May 20, 2009, indicating it is a historical notice, though the summary still reflects what the competition required at the time.
ACF directs prospective applicants to request pre-application materials and additional guidance by contacting the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The agency also invites public comments from parents and residents within the service area. These comments are intended to inform ACF about general community needs in Jefferson Davis Parish rather than to advocate for or against any specific applicant, and they should be sent to the ACYF Operations Center. For technical trouble accessing the full announcement, applicants were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement was linked under the funding opportunity number HHS-2009-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-7001.
