Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R3 0075
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is offering a discretionary grant competition to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs in specific service areas within the Commonwealth of Virginia. The purpose of the opportunity is to fund direct early childhood and family support services for eligible children and families, with awards tied to defined geographic communities. Because the available service areas and funding amounts can change before the formal notice of funding opportunity is posted, interested applicants are expected to consult the additional information link referenced in the listing for the most current service-area details and associated funding levels. Questions can also be directed to the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSgrants@koniag-gs.com.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying to run Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applicants seeking to operate Head Start only, or both Head Start and Early Head Start, eligibility is limited to local public or private non-profit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) and for-profit organizations that can deliver the required services to children and families residing in the specific service area(s) identified in the announcement. For applicants applying for Early Head Start only, eligibility is limited to public or private non-profit organizations (including faith-based organizations) and for-profit organizations able to provide Early Head Start services within the identified service area. Organizations that already operate Head Start programs are also eligible to operate Early Head Start. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified from merit review and funding.
The competition is open to a broad range of entity types typically involved in education and human services delivery, including various levels of government, school districts, institutions of higher education (public and private), federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses, provided they meet the program-specific eligibility rules stated above and can serve the designated Virginia service areas. Faith-based organizations are explicitly permitted to apply on the same basis as other organizations, and ACF states it will not discriminate in recipient selection based on an organization’s religious character, affiliation, or exercise, consistent with applicable federal protections and requirements (including 45 CFR Part 87 and 42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.).
