Opportunity Summary:
The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee opportunity for Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on expanding or operating Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services for young children and their families in those three states. The program is designed to serve infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children from migrant and seasonal farmworker families, along with providing family-centered supports that align with Head Start expectations for early learning, health, and family well-being. In practical terms, the funding is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services that meet the needs of highly mobile families who often face barriers like unstable housing, changing work locations, limited access to consistent healthcare, and disruptions in children s early education.
This funding opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CM R12 0516 under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). ACF anticipated making 2 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $4,342,364 available for Migrant and Seasonal Head Start program services. The notice lists an award ceiling of $4,342,364 and an award floor of $0, which typically means awards may vary depending on the applicant s proposed service area, scope, and approved program plan, up to the maximum amount available. There is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees are expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start rules (for many Head Start grants, this is commonly described as a non-federal share requirement, though the exact structure would be spelled out in the full announcement and Head Start regulations).
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private organizations that can operate these services, spanning nonprofit and certain for-profit entities, as well as various government and education-related institutions. Specifically, eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also emphasizes that faith-based and community-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements may apply. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this notice.
Administratively, applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The posted and creation date for the opportunity is April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 19, 2012. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start s role as a social services and early childhood development program.
