Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0224), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to identify a new organization to operate Head Start services in the Germantown/Lehigh area of Philadelphia. The purpose is to keep Head Start programming in place for local children and families with as little disruption as possible, essentially continuing the same type of services that had previously been delivered by the former grantee, Philadelphia Parent Child Center, Inc. The announcement signals a replacement-grantee competition rather than an expansion, meaning the expectation is that the new awardee can rapidly assume responsibility for ongoing operations in the service area while meeting all Head Start performance standards and federal requirements.
ACF anticipated making one award under this competition, with an estimated annual funding level of $5,263,981. The award ceiling is listed as $5,263,981, and the award floor is $0, which typically indicates the budget could vary depending on the applicant's proposal and final negotiations, but the target amount is aligned to what is needed to support the full program. The prior funded enrollment level for this service area was 607 children and families, and applicants were expected to propose a plan capable of serving a similar enrollment and meeting Head Start eligibility rules and comprehensive service requirements. The funding falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement is noted as "Yes," so applicants would need to pay close attention to the full announcement for the specific match rules, allowable sources, and documentation expectations.
Eligible applicants were broadly defined to encourage strong local competition and continuity of services. ACF allowed applications from a wide range of public and private entities, including local public organizations, private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), faith-based and community organizations that meet federal eligibility requirements, and local for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility list also includes various governmental and quasi-governmental entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Higher education institutions, both public/state-controlled and private, were also listed as eligible. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this notice.
Key dates in the posting indicate it was originally posted on May 12, 2011, with a closing date of July 12, 2011. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the notice emphasized a strict submission deadline no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing indicates the opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, which is consistent with the closeout of the application window and award process for that cycle.
For organizations considering applying at the time, ACF directed interested parties to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. Those pre-application materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org, providing a way for prospective applicants to understand service-area expectations and prepare a compliant application. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov for technical assistance. The full announcement was available through ACF's grants site via the additional information link included in the notice.
