Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee opportunity for Union Township, New Jersey (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0208; CFDA 93.600) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Its purpose is to select a new organization to keep Head Start services going in Union Township after the prior grantee, Union Township Community Action Organization, previously operated the program. In practical terms, ACF is looking for a replacement provider that can step in and continue delivering comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible children and families in the same service area, rather than starting a brand new initiative.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated annual amount of $375,379 (the listed award ceiling matches that amount, and the award floor is $0). The prior program level referenced in the announcement is a funded enrollment of 48 children and families, which signals the approximate scale of services the replacement grantee should be prepared to operate. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding instrument is a grant. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning applicants should plan for some level of non-federal share consistent with Head Start grant rules and the details in the full announcement.
Eligibility is focused on organizations capable of providing Head Start services specifically within Union Township, New Jersey. ACF states eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) and local for-profit organizations in the community that can serve children and families residing in Union Township. The opportunity listing also includes a broad set of entity types that may be eligible in general (for example, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, certain tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, public housing authorities, and various nonprofit categories). However, the key practical requirement is being a local entity able to deliver Head Start services in the designated community. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible.
The application timeline in the notice shows the opportunity was posted July 8, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2008, and an archive date of October 5, 2008. For applicants submitting through Grants.gov, the announcement emphasizes a firm electronic submission deadline of no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Interested applicants were instructed to call the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional information, which suggests there were required or strongly recommended preliminary steps and guidance beyond the brief synopsis.
ACF also invites public comments from parents and residents within the service area. These comments are intended to inform ACF about community needs in Union Township generally, not to campaign for or against any specific applicant, and they are to be sent to the ACYF Operations Center. This feedback component is meant to help ACF understand local priorities and conditions as it selects a replacement grantee.
