Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0613), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to select a new provider to continue delivering Head Start services in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, following the prior service arrangement with the former grantee, Pointe Coupee Community Advancement, Inc. In practical terms, ACF is looking for an organization that can step in and maintain uninterrupted early childhood education and family support services for eligible local children and their families in the same general footprint previously served.
ACF anticipates making one award, with estimated total annual funding of $1,020,413. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,020,413 (with an award floor of $0), signaling that ACF expected proposals to be built around that approximate annual operating level. The former grantee’s funded enrollment level was 163 children and families, which gives applicants a clear indicator of the scale of services ACF expects the replacement grantee to operate. The grant falls within the broader federal activity category of Income Security and Social Services, and it is structured as a grant rather than a cooperative agreement or contract.
Eligibility is focused on local capacity to serve Pointe Coupee Parish. ACF specifies that applicants must be local public or private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, or local for-profit organizations in the community that can provide Head Start services to children and families residing in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. The listing also references a wide range of eligible applicant types commonly used in federal grant systems (such as county governments, independent school districts, special district governments, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, public housing authorities, and certain higher education institutions), but the key limiting factor in the narrative is that the applicant must be positioned to provide Head Start services in the parish. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly stated as eligible, while foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect to document the non-federal share requirements associated with Head Start funding as described in the full announcement and applicable Head Start regulations and guidance. Because Head Start grants come with detailed program performance standards and operational expectations, applicants would typically need to address governance, staffing, facilities, curriculum, family engagement, health and nutrition services, and compliance systems in their application to demonstrate readiness to operate at the required scale.
Applicants were instructed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. ACF also invited public comments from parents and residents within the service area. The purpose of those comments was to help ACF understand the community’s needs overall, not to rally support for any specific applicant. Comments were to be submitted to the ACYF Operations Center, aligning with the replacement-grantee process where community input can inform how the service area’s needs are understood during the transition to a new provider.
Key dates in the posting show it was originally posted and created on July 1, 2008, with an application deadline (closing date) of September 2, 2008, and an archive date of October 2, 2008. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding instrument type is listed as a grant, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the expected number of awards is one.
