Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee - Municipalities of Naguabo, Cieba, Rio Grande and Fajardo, Puerto Rico," was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to select a new organization to continue delivering Head Start services in the Puerto Rico municipalities of Naguabo, Cieba, Rio Grande, and Fajardo. The purpose is continuity of services in an area previously served by the former grantee, Aspira de Puerto Rico, so that eligible young children and their families in these communities continue receiving comprehensive Head Start supports without interruption.
The announcement makes available an estimated $2,190,565 per year to operate the Head Start program in this service area. The prior grant supported a funded enrollment of 239 children and families, which gives applicants a clear sense of the scale of operations expected. The award structure indicates an award ceiling equal to the annual amount listed ($2,190,565) and an award floor of $0, with one expected award, meaning the competition is designed to select a single replacement grantee to cover the entire defined service area.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public and private entities that can operate Head Start services, such as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also allows local for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) to apply. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly stated as eligible if they meet program requirements. At the same time, the notice is clear about who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this specific funding opportunity.
This funding falls under the Head Start CFDA program number 93.600 and is categorized under the funding activity area of income security and social services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee should be prepared to meet whatever non-federal share requirements Head Start imposes, consistent with program rules and the full announcement details.
For applicants, the process includes obtaining pre-application materials and guidance. Interested organizations are instructed to call the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to receive pre-application materials and additional information. Those materials are also available online at www.headstartgrants.org.
