Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee - California" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CM-R12-0518), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). It is a discretionary grant intended to fund organizations that can operate Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services in California for eligible families, including pregnant women and children from birth through preschool age. The overall purpose is to support comprehensive early childhood and family services tailored to the needs of migrant and seasonal farmworker families, who often face frequent moves, unpredictable work schedules, and barriers to consistent health, education, and family support services.
The total estimated funding amount available is $8,365,728 per year, with an expected three awards. The award ceiling is listed as $8,365,728 and the award floor is $0, which generally signals that award amounts may vary based on the specific service area, scope of services proposed, and the number of families served, up to the maximum amount available. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's role in stabilizing family wellbeing through early learning, health, nutrition, and supportive services.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of entity types as long as they meet the program and eligibility requirements. This includes 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), state and local government entities (such as county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, private and public institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly included as eligible if they meet the requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget in accordance with Head Start matching rules. In practice, this often involves documenting allowable non-federal share through cash contributions or approved in-kind contributions, and applicants typically need to show they have systems in place to track, value, and report those contributions.
Key dates for this opportunity indicate it was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application deadline of August 14, 2012.
