Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1052
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking applicants to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee serving Clinton County, Ohio. The goal of this funding opportunity is to select one organization to operate a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program for eligible children and families in the county. Applicants may propose to run a program that combines both Head Start (generally preschool-aged services) and Early Head Start (prenatal to age three services), or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and eligibility under the Head Start Act.
The opportunity provides $948,376 per year in grant funding to support program services in the Clinton County service area, and ACF expects to make one award. This is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600, categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1052. The original closing date listed is 2015-12-15, and the notice emphasizes that this FOA was modified, including a change to the application due date and updates to specific sections of the FOA.
A key administrative point is that the electronic application package on Grants.gov was revised. Applicants are instructed to re-download the updated Grants.gov application package and use that version to submit their application. The FOA also notes that instructions for uploading the three required application files are provided in Section IV.2, and that changes were made to Sections III.2 and IV.2. Anyone needing help or clarifications is directed to contact the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
Eligibility depends on what an applicant is proposing to operate. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposal), eligible applicants are limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to provide Head Start services to children and families in Clinton County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency as defined in the Act.
For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act. Applicants may be any public or private nonprofit organization (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency that can provide Early Head Start services in the Clinton County service area. The announcement also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs may apply to operate Early Head Start, and that faith-based organizations that meet the requirements are eligible and encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
The FOA explicitly excludes certain applicants. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible and will be disqualified from competitive review. Foreign entities are also not eligible. Overall, the competition is designed to identify a single capable provider that can deliver the full range of Head Start and/or Early Head Start comprehensive services for children and families in Clinton County, Ohio, supported by annual federal funding at the stated level and subject to the updated application submission instructions in the modified FOA.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1052
