Opportunity Summary:
This 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 replacement grantee to operate Head Start services in four municipalities in Puerto Rico: Naguabo, Ceiba, Rio Grande, and Fajardo. The goal is to fund an organization that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services to eligible children and their families living in those communities, following all applicable Head Start Program Performance Standards and related federal requirements.
ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement. The annual funding level highlighted in the description is approximately $2,206,154 per year to support program operations, with the opportunity showing an estimated total funding amount of $2,231,740 and an award ceiling of $2,231,740 (with no stated award floor). The assistance listing for this program is CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). Because this is a Head Start grant, a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee is expected to meet the non-federal share requirement consistent with Head Start rules (typically through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash, subject to program guidance).
Eligible applicants are broad but must fit within the permitted organizational categories and meet Head Start eligibility requirements. ACF allows local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as certain for-profit agencies to apply. The eligibility list includes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education. The notice also clarifies who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
The application window for this specific posting opened on April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012. While the dates indicate this particular announcement is historical, the summary details still reflect how ACF structured the competition for a replacement Head Start grantee in those Puerto Rico municipalities.
For organizations that needed more details about the program area or competition, the announcement directs applicants to email the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
