Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1062
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to select a single grantee to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in portions of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The goal is to fund delivery of a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five program. Applicants may propose a program that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding into a coordinated prenatal-to-kindergarten continuum, or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on the organization and community needs.
The funding opportunity announcement (FOA) notes important administrative changes: it has been modified, the application due date has changed, and updates were made to Sections III.2 and IV.2. Because of those changes, the Grants.gov electronic application package was revised, and applicants are required to re-download the updated package and submit their application using that version. The FOA also specifies that the application is submitted as three separate files and points applicants to Section IV.2 for the file upload instructions. For questions or additional information, applicants are directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
Annual funding available under this competition is $1,759,783, with an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The award ceiling is also listed as $1,759,783, which effectively indicates that the competition is designed to fund one grantee at roughly that annual level to serve the defined service area. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding instrument is a grant.
Eligibility depends on what program option an entity is applying to operate, and the FOA stresses that the rules differ between Head Start and Early Head Start. For applicants seeking Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start approach, 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, consistent with 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 in the service area and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act.
For applicants seeking Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)). Public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) and for-profit organizations in the service area may apply, as long as they can provide Early Head Start services to children and families living in the service area. The FOA also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs are eligible to operate Early Head Start programs, which supports expansion or diversification of services when capacity and program design align.
Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible as long as they meet the statutory and FOA requirements, and they are encouraged to review ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations (referenced in the FOA). At the same time, the FOA is clear about disallowed applicants: applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, and from foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and funding consideration.
Key identifiers for this opportunity include the title "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Portions of Cuyahoga County, Ohio," Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1062, and an original closing date listed as 2015-12-15 (with the explicit note that the due date has since changed in the modified FOA). Eligible applicant types listed in the source data include various levels of government, school districts, public housing authorities, tribal governments, institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations, but applicants still must satisfy the specific Head Start Act eligibility criteria described above based on whether they are applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1062
