Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R04 1037
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Taylor County, Florida" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1037), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). The goal is to select one organization to operate high-quality early childhood services for eligible children and families living in Taylor County, Florida. Applicants can propose to run a comprehensive birth-to-five model that blends both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they can apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on the organization and the services it intends to deliver.
The award provides up to $1,199,592 per year (this amount is also listed as the award ceiling), and ACF expects to make a single award under this announcement. The funded program is expected to deliver the full Head Start and/or Early Head Start approach, meaning comprehensive services that typically include early learning and development, health screenings and follow-up care, nutrition supports, family engagement, and other wraparound services aligned with Head Start Program Performance Standards. The funding is intended to ensure children from low-income families and other eligible circumstances have access to strong early education and family supports in the specified county service area.
A key administrative note is that the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) was modified. The application due date was changed, and revisions were made to Sections III.2 and IV.2 of the FOA. In addition, the Grants.gov electronic application package was updated, and applicants are required to re-download the revised application package before submitting. The FOA also points applicants to Section IV.2 for specific instructions on uploading three separate application files, which is an important compliance detail because failing to follow the updated submission format could jeopardize an application.
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is pursuing Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applications that include Head Start (either Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), eligible applicants are limited to local public or private non-profit 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 to children and families in Taylor County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act.
For applications that propose 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 non-profit 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 eligible children and families residing in Taylor County. The announcement also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs are eligible to operate Early Head Start programs as well, which is relevant for existing providers looking to expand services to pregnant women, infants, and toddlers under the Early Head Start model.
The FOA explicitly welcomes faith-based and community organizations that meet the program and legal eligibility requirements, and it directs faith-based applicants to review ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations (referenced in the notice). At the same time, the announcement is clear about disqualifying categories: applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and will be removed from competitive review.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The eligible applicant types listed in the source data include a wide range of public entities and organizations, such as state, county, and city governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses, provided they meet the specific Head Start Act eligibility rules described above for the particular program option being proposed. For questions or additional operational guidance, prospective applicants are invited to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R04 1037
