Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R04 1041
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking applications to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Pitt, Martin, and Beaufort Counties in North Carolina. The opportunity supports delivering a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program and allows applicants to propose one of three approaches: Head Start only, Early Head Start only, or an integrated program that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding to serve children across the full birth-to-five age range.
A total of $4,080,259 per year is available under this grant announcement to provide program services in the defined service area. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the listing is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600. The agency anticipates making up to two awards, with an award ceiling of $4,080,259. The original application closing date shown in the source information is December 15, 2015, but the notice emphasizes that the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has been modified and that the application due date changed, so applicants are expected to rely on the updated FOA details rather than older dates or prior versions.
A key administrative point in this announcement is that the FOA was revised in specific sections (Sections III.2 and IV.2), and the Grants.gov electronic application package was also revised. Applicants are required to re-download the updated Grants.gov package and use that version to submit their application. The FOA also calls attention to file-upload instructions (including uploading three application files) found in Section IV.2, signaling that submission formatting and packaging are important for the application to be accepted and reviewed.
Eligibility depends on what type of services an applicant is proposing, and the rules differ between Head Start and Early Head Start. For applicants pursuing Head Start only, or a combined Head Start plus Early Head Start proposal, 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 provide 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 pursuing Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)). Eligible applicants may be any public or private nonprofit organization (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency in the service area that can provide Early Head Start services to children and families residing there. The FOA also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs may apply to operate Early Head Start. Faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements are explicitly eligible and are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance regarding grants to faith-based organizations.
The announcement lists a wide range of eligible applicant types in its source data, including various levels of government, school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public and private), federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other local entities. However, the narrative eligibility language remains important because it ties eligibility to being in the service area and to the specific statutory provisions that govern whether an entity can apply for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both.
Finally, the FOA makes clear that applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, and applications from foreign entities are not eligible. Those submissions will be disqualified from competitive review and cannot be funded.
