Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R06 1060
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking one organization to serve as the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee for Evangeline Parish, Louisiana. The goal of this discretionary grant competition is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program that can deliver Head Start services, Early Head Start services, or a combined model using both funding streams, depending on what the applicant proposes and is eligible to operate. The award is intended to support eligible children and families living in the defined service area (Evangeline Parish) by providing the full range of Head Start/Early Head Start program components, which typically include early learning and development, family engagement, health and developmental screenings, and supportive services that help promote school readiness and healthy child development.
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is marked as modified, with key administrative updates that applicants must pay attention to. Most importantly, the application due date was changed, and revisions were made to Sections III.2 and IV.2 of the FOA. ACF also revised the electronic Grant Application Package on Grants.gov, meaning applicants cannot rely on an older downloaded package. Applicants are required to re-download the updated package and follow the revised instructions, including specific directions (in Section IV.2) for uploading three application files. For help or clarifications, interested applicants can contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
The award amount is listed as $1,563,386 per year (annual funding), with an expected number of awards of one, so this is a single-grantee competition for the parish. The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-1060, categorized as a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The agency lists a broad set of applicant types that may be eligible in general (including various levels of government, school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, housing authorities, nonprofits, and for-profit entities), but the FOA also makes clear that eligibility differs depending on whether the applicant is applying to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both.
For applicants proposing Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program, eligibility is restricted by the Head Start Act to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area that can provide Head Start services to children and families residing in Evangeline Parish. These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). In other words, beyond simply being an allowable organization type, the applicant must show it can meet the legal and programmatic requirements associated with operating Head Start in that community.
For applicants proposing Early Head Start only, the eligibility rules are somewhat 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 agencies in the service area may apply as long as they can provide Early Head Start services to children and families residing in Evangeline Parish. The FOA also notes that organizations already operating Head Start are allowed to operate Early Head Start, which can be relevant for established providers seeking to expand services to pregnant women, infants, and toddlers. Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the requirements, and ACF points applicants to its policy guidance for faith-based grantees (referenced in the FOA).
Finally, the FOA clearly excludes certain applicant types regardless of the model proposed. Applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible. Foreign entities are also not eligible. Any such submissions will be disqualified from competitive review and will not be considered for funding. The original closing date listed for this opportunity is December 15, 2015, though the FOA also emphasizes that the due date changed as part of the modification, so applicants would need to rely on the updated FOA and the revised Grants.gov package for the correct deadline and submission instructions.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R06 1060
