Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Replacement Grantee Northern Colorado (including Weld, Morgan, Larimer, Adams, Boulder, Mesa, Montrose and Delta Counties, Colorado)," was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to fund the continued delivery of Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services across a large multi-county region in Northern Colorado. The central purpose of the announcement is to identify a replacement organization that can keep services running in the community at a level comparable to what had previously been provided by the former grantee, the Family Educational Network of Weld County.
The service area covered by this competition includes Weld, Morgan, Larimer, Adams, Boulder, Mesa, Montrose, and Delta Counties in Colorado. The program focus is Migrant and Seasonal Head Start, which is designed to support young children and families whose livelihoods are tied to agricultural or seasonal work and who often face frequent moves, unstable employment cycles, and barriers to consistent early childhood services. While the opportunity summary does not spell out individual program components, applicants are expected to deliver the full scope of Head Start-required comprehensive services typically associated with MSHS, meaning high-quality early childhood education along with health, nutrition, mental health, family engagement, and other wraparound supports that help children enter school ready to succeed.
Funding is listed at $2,406,240 per year in available federal funds, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an award floor of $0 (which generally signals that awards depend on the quality of applications received and federal decisions). The previous grantee was funded to serve a total enrollment of 275 children and families, and the replacement applicant is essentially expected to propose services capable of meeting that community need. The announcement indicates there may be up to two awards expected, suggesting ACF could potentially fund more than one organization depending on proposals and service design, though the total available funding and the ceiling are key constraints to how awards might be structured.
Eligibility is broad but still community-anchored. ACF states that eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations operating in the community to be served, as long as they can provide Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services in the specified Colorado counties. The eligible applicant types listed include state and local governments, county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). At the same time, the eligibility section clearly notes that individuals and foreign entities are not eligible under this opportunity. The goal is to ensure the award goes to an organization with the capacity, infrastructure, and local presence to operate an MSHS program effectively across the service area.
The opportunity falls under CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listing) number 93.600, Head Start, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement. The summary does not specify the percentage or exact nature of the match, so applicants would need to consult the full announcement to understand what non-federal share is required, what can count toward match (cash vs. in-kind), and how it must be documented. Because Head Start programs are heavily regulated, applicants should expect that both program design and fiscal management capacity will be scrutinized, including governance, data and reporting systems, staffing qualifications, facilities readiness, and the ability to meet performance standards specific to Migrant and Seasonal Head Start.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted June 11, 2010, with an original (and current) closing date of August 10, 2010, and an archive date of September 9, 2010. For applicants submitting electronically through Grants.gov, the notice emphasizes a strict submission deadline of no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R12-0131, which applicants would use to locate the full federal notice and ensure they are working from the correct application package and instructions.
For next steps and application support, interested applicants were directed to call the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional information. The notice also provides technical assistance contact information for problems accessing the full announcement: the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. A link to the full announcement was included in the posting (hosted on the ACF grants site), and that full text would typically contain the detailed program expectations, evaluation criteria, required attachments, budget guidance, match rules, and any special conditions tied to replacing a former grantee and continuing services without disruption.
