Opportunity Summary:
The Migrant and Seasonal Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships funding opportunity (HHS 2016 ACF OHS HM 1183) is a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). It falls under the Income Security and Social Services funding category and is associated with CFDA 93.600. The core purpose is to expand access to high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services for low-income migrant and seasonal infants and toddlers, along with their families, using either Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships or an expansion of direct Early Head Start services.
ACF set aside approximately $5 million total to be awarded competitively, with an expectation of about 10 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,500,000 per grant, indicating that projects could vary in size but must stay within that upper limit. The intent is to increase the availability of services that are not only focused on early learning and development, but also comprehensive in the Early Head Start sense, meaning they are designed to support children and families through a coordinated set of developmental, health, and family support services appropriate for infants and toddlers in migrant and seasonal circumstances.
The opportunity is structured to support two main approaches. One option is forming or expanding Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships, which generally means coordinating Early Head Start standards and comprehensive services with child care providers so that more infants and toddlers can receive Early Head Start-level quality in child care settings. The other option is expanding Early Head Start services directly, increasing the number of available slots or services offered to eligible children and families. In both cases, the target population is specifically low-income migrant and seasonal families with infants and toddlers, reflecting the program focus on communities that often face mobility, unstable work schedules, and gaps in consistent early care.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public and private organizations, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements referenced in Section 645A of the Head Start Act. Eligible applicant types include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. ACF also explicitly notes that it is soliciting applications from public entities (including states), private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), and for-profit agencies that meet the statutory eligibility criteria.
Key dates provided for the competition include a creation date of June 23, 2016, and an original closing date of August 24, 2016. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For organizations seeking more information, ACF provided a direct contact email address: EHS.CCPartnerships@acf.hhs.gov.
