Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary Head Start grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intended to select a replacement organization to operate Head Start services in the Municipality of Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico. The central purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking a new grantee to continue delivering the same kind of Head Start program services that were previously provided by the former grantee, the Municipality of Santa Isabel. The program is designed to serve eligible young children and their families in that specific service area, maintaining access to comprehensive early childhood education and related family supports under the Head Start model.
ACF expects to make one award, with estimated total funding of $935,224 per year, which also represents the stated award ceiling. The former grantee was funded to serve an enrollment of 106 children and families, which gives prospective applicants a practical sense of the scale of operations, staffing, facilities, and community outreach that may be needed to sustain services at roughly the same level. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The announcement also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to address non-federal share expectations in their application and budget planning, consistent with Head Start grant rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that meet the standard requirements), as well as local for-profit organizations. The eligible applicant types listed include state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, along with 501(c)(3) nonprofits and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the notice is clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted May 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, the deadline is emphasized: submissions must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, indicating it is a past competition, but the content outlines how ACF structured the replacement grantee process for that service area.
For pre-application materials and additional guidance specific to Santa Isabel, interested applicants were instructed to call the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and materials were also made available through www.headstartgrants.org. Technical assistance for accessing the full announcement was routed through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
