Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian and American Indian Nonprofit Organization Child Care Grants opportunity (HHS-2013-ACF-OCC-YN-0594) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Care (OCC). It uses Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) resources to expand the availability, affordability, and quality of child care in places that have historically been underserved or where there are clear unmet child care needs. The program is focused on funding the actual operation of child care services, with the larger goal of helping families access stable care while parents work, pursue education, or participate in job training, and while children receive safe, developmentally appropriate care.
The announcement anticipated making up to two awards total, with an estimated $2,000,000 available. Each award was expected to fall between $500,000 (floor) and $1,000,000 (ceiling). One grant was intended to serve Native Hawaiian youth, and a second grant could serve Native Hawaiian youth and/or American Indian/Alaska Native youth who are members of Federally recognized Indian Tribes. The CFDA listing connected to this opportunity is 93.575 (Child Care and Development Block Grant). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligible applicants are specific types of private nonprofit organizations rather than tribal governments. The competition is open to (1) a private nonprofit organization that serves the interests of Native Hawaiians and is recognized by the Governor of Hawaii for planning, conducting, or administering programs (or portions of programs) for the benefit of Native Hawaiians, and/or (2) a private nonprofit Indian organization (not a Federally recognized tribal government) established to serve youth who are Native Hawaiian and/or Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native youth. Applicants must also be organizations that do not currently receive a CCDF formula grant from the federal government, and they must be serving children who are not already receiving child care services funded by other CCDF grantees. Faith-based and community organizations may apply as long as they meet these eligibility requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
The funded services must be targeted to children under age 13 who meet CCDF eligibility rules. Children must live with families whose income does not exceed 85 percent of the State Median Income (or Tribal Median Income) for a family of the same size, and the child must be in a family where the parent(s) are working, participating in job training, attending an educational program, or where the family receives or needs to receive protective services. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund direct child care assistance and program operations that make care accessible for working families with low to moderate incomes, while also meeting CCDF expectations for health, safety, and quality.
While the program does allow construction or major renovation of child care facilities, that is not the main purpose of the grants. Applicants are expected to dedicate adequate funding each year to direct child care services and to show that requested costs make sense relative to how many eligible children will be served. Even if a grantee wants to use funds for construction or major renovation, they cannot spend grant dollars on those activities unless they go through a separate approval process with HHS after receiving the award. In other words, the grant can support facilities work, but only with additional federal approval and only after the operating grant has been awarded.
Applicants are encouraged to use the CCDF Tribal Plan Preprint (TPP) as a planning tool when preparing an application. If funded, grantees must comply with the same general requirements that apply to CCDF Tribal formula grantees, and the primary governing regulations are in 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99 unless the announcement specifies otherwise. Applications must also include a statement agreeing to comply with the relevant assurances listed at 45 CFR 98.15, which are standard CCDF compliance commitments tied to program integrity, eligibility, service delivery, and administration.
Key administrative details from the announcement include a posted date of April 25, 2013, and an application deadline of June 24, 2013, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was archived July 24, 2013. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the notice directs applicants to the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
