Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF OHS CM R12 0630) comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it focuses on expanding or continuing Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri. The purpose is to support programs that deliver comprehensive early childhood services to eligible infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children from migrant and seasonal families, along with services that engage and support their families. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund Head Start-style programming tailored to families whose work and living situations often involve frequent moves, seasonal employment, and barriers to steady access to early learning, health care, and family supports.
The announcement notes an important modification: the application due date was changed to Monday, August 19, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was originally set to close on August 18, 2013, but the updated closing date is August 19, 2013, and the archive date listed is September 18, 2013. The posting timeline shows the opportunity was posted on June 4, 2013, with a creation date of June 5, 2013, which is relevant for applicants tracking federal funding cycles and planning their submission work.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant under the broad activity area of Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The estimated total funding amount is $4,117,855 annually, and the award ceiling is also listed as $4,117,855, with an award floor of $0. The announcement anticipates making up to two awards, suggesting that ACF expected one or two grantees to cover the service area and deliver required program capacity across the three states. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning awarded organizations would need to contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start requirements, which typically involves meeting a set non-federal share expectation through cash or allowable in-kind contributions.
Eligibility is broad but specific. ACF invited applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit agencies, as long as they meet program and eligibility requirements. The eligible applicant types listed include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public and state-controlled or private institutions of higher education. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations from competing for or receiving awards under this notice. The inclusion of faith-based and community organizations is explicitly reaffirmed, emphasizing that such organizations can compete on equal footing if they satisfy the standard requirements.
The geographic focus is Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri, and the services to be funded are Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families residing in those states. While the summary text does not list specific service models or enrollment numbers, Migrant and Seasonal Head Start grants generally support comprehensive early childhood development services that can include early education, health and developmental screenings, nutrition supports, family engagement, and connections to community resources, with program design reflecting the realities of agricultural and seasonal work patterns.
