Opportunity Summary:

The Head Start Replacement Grantee Kendall County, Texas funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a new organization to operate Head Start services in Kendall County, Texas. The main purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking a replacement grantee to continue providing the same type of Head Start program services that were previously delivered by the former grantee, Benedictine Ministries Corporation/St. Albert Head Start, so that eligible children and families in the county do not lose access to comprehensive early childhood education and family support services.

ACF anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated annual funding amount of $714,972. The prior program level referenced in the notice reflects a funded enrollment of 93 children and families, which gives applicants a sense of the expected service scale and operational footprint. The funding falls under the Head Start CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 93.600, categorized broadly under Income Security and Social Services, and it carries a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet applicable non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start grant rules.

Eligibility is focused on organizations positioned to deliver Head Start locally in Kendall County. ACF invited applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations that can provide Head Start services in the community. The broader eligibility list in the source data includes various government entities (such as state, county, and city governments), school districts, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities, institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with certain distinctions), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, among others. However, the narrative eligibility language emphasizes that applicants must be local and capable of serving children and families residing in Kendall County, Texas. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.

Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on March 24, 2010, with an application closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 23, 2010. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be filed by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Applicants needing pre-application materials or more guidance were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provided the Applications Help Desk contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.

In practical terms, this opportunity was a competitive process to designate a new Head Start operator for Kendall County, with funding sized to sustain services for roughly the same enrollment level as the former grantee. Applicants were expected to demonstrate the capacity to manage a Head Start grant and deliver the full Head Start model of services to eligible preschool children and their families within the county, aligning operations with federal Head Start requirements and any applicable matching expectations.
