Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. Its purpose is to select a new organization to continue delivering Head Start services in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, maintaining the same kind of early childhood education, comprehensive family support, and related services that were previously provided by the current grantee, the Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners. The funding is intended to keep services uninterrupted for eligible children and families in the county rather than to launch an entirely new program model.
The announcement makes available approximately $2,891,046 per year to operate the Head Start program locally. The funded program is expected to serve a total enrollment of 415 children and families, consistent with the current grant’s service level. ACF anticipated making one award under this funding opportunity, meaning applicants would be competing to become the single replacement grantee responsible for operating Head Start across the service area.
Eligibility is focused on organizations in the community to be served that are capable of providing Head Start services in Schuylkill County. Applicants may include local public entities or private organizations, and the announcement explicitly includes nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The broader eligibility list associated with the posting also references various entity types such as city/township governments, county and state governments, public housing authorities, tribal governments and tribal organizations, independent school districts, certain higher education institutions, and small businesses; however, the key limitation stated in the eligibility narrative is that applicants must be local to the community and able to deliver Head Start services there. Individuals and foreign entities are not eligible. The grant has a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to plan for meeting whatever non-federal share and related fiscal rules are required under Head Start regulations and the full announcement.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0128 and CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 93.600 for Head Start. The opportunity was posted June 11, 2010, with an application due date of August 10, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The estimated total funding matched the annual amount listed above, and the award ceiling was $2,891,046 (with an award floor of $0), reflecting that the award size would align with the annual operating level needed to serve the enrollment.
Prospective applicants were directed to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to request pre-application materials and additional guidance. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, ACF provided an Applications Help Desk contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
