Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACF OHS CH R03 1249
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), announced a discretionary grant competition to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for families living in the Cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, Virginia. The purpose is to ensure eligible children from birth through age five have access to a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program. Applicants can propose an integrated birth-to-five approach that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they can apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, as long as the proposed services meet Head Start Program Performance Standards and deliver the full range of required comprehensive supports for children and families.
The total funding available under the opportunity is up to $7,279,530 per year (listed as the annual award ceiling), with an expectation of making about two awards. Funding supports direct program services for eligible children and their families, which typically includes early learning and child development services, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement and support services, nutrition services, and connections to community resources. The emphasis in the notice is on operating a strong, full-scope program for the local service area rather than offering a limited or narrowly focused intervention.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible, reflecting Head Start's community-based model. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (including community-based and faith-based nonprofits); and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). This broad eligibility is designed to allow whichever qualified organization is best positioned locally to run a compliant and effective program to compete for the grant.
Administratively, this opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2017-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-1249 under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The announcement was created on December 16, 2016, and the original application deadline was February 14, 2017, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
