Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1058
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking one organization to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee for Grant County, Indiana. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program that can serve eligible children and families in the county. Applicants may propose to operate a program that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funds (birth to age five), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and eligibility under the Head Start Act.
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) was modified, and the application due date changed. ACF also updated Sections III.2 and IV.2 of the FOA and revised the electronic grant application package on Grants.gov. Because of that revision, applicants are required to re-download the updated Grants.gov package and use it for submission, following the FOA instructions for uploading the three required application files (those upload instructions are specifically referenced as being in Section IV.2). For technical or process questions, applicants can contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
The award provides $1,050,144 per year (annual funding) to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Grant County, with an expected total of one award. The opportunity is a discretionary grant administered by ACF/OHS under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and it is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The listing also indicates an award ceiling of $1,050,144.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both, and the FOA stresses that these eligibility rules are not identical. For applicants seeking Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area, as permitted under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must be able to deliver Head Start services to children and families in Grant County and must demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start agency and/or an Early Head Start agency as defined by the Act.
For applicants seeking Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader in the sense that it is based on Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)) and includes any public or private nonprofit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency that can deliver Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations that already operate Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible if they meet the program rules, and they are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations (referenced in the FOA).
Certain applicants are explicitly not eligible. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, cannot apply and will be disqualified from review. Foreign entities are also ineligible and will be disqualified. The opportunity listing also includes a wide range of entity types that may be eligible depending on the specific program option proposed and the statutory criteria, including various levels of government, school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education, tribal governments (federally recognized), nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations, and small businesses, as long as they meet the applicable Head Start Act requirements and can serve the Grant County service area.
Key identifying details from the notice include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1058, the original closing date listed as 2015-12-15 (noting again the FOA states the due date changed and applicants should rely on the modified announcement), an expected single award, and the annual funding level of $1,050,144 to support comprehensive Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families in Grant County, Indiana.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1058
