Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0105), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to select a single new organization to take over and continue Head Start services in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, in the service area previously operated by Southside Development Corporation. The core purpose is continuity of early childhood services for low-income and otherwise eligible children and their families in that parish, rather than launching a brand-new program in a new location.
The available funding is listed as $1,309,504 per year, with an estimated total funding amount matching that figure and an award ceiling of $1,309,504 (award floor is $0). ACF expected to make one award under this announcement. The former grantee’s funded enrollment level was 182 children and families, which effectively signals the approximate service capacity the new grantee would be expected to sustain, subject to the Head Start Program Performance Standards and the funding level awarded. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the applicable CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start). The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements as described in the full announcement and program rules.
Eligibility is limited to entities located in, or serving, the local community of Jefferson Davis Parish that are capable of operating Head Start services. Specifically, ACF invited applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations operating in the community to be served. The broader eligibility codes shown in the notice include various government entities and nonprofit categories, but the controlling eligibility language emphasizes local capacity to deliver Head Start in Jefferson Davis Parish. Individuals and foreign entities were explicitly not eligible. Faith-based and community organizations were clearly affirmed as eligible to apply on the same basis as other organizations.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted and created on March 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 23, 2010. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the notice highlights a firm electronic submission deadline of no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement also instructs interested applicants to call the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance, which suggests there were required or strongly recommended preparatory steps beyond simply downloading standard forms.
For full details, the notice points to the official ACF grant announcement webpage (link provided in the opportunity) and provides support contacts for access issues: the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. Overall, this opportunity was designed to quickly identify a qualified replacement operator to maintain uninterrupted Head Start services for approximately 182 enrolled children and families in Jefferson Davis Parish, using an annual federal funding level of about $1.31 million and subject to Head Start program requirements, including the non-federal share.
