Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R02 1025
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking applicants to serve as the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee for the Municipality of Carolina, Puerto Rico. This is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-1025; CFDA 93.600) intended to fund high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children and their families. Applicants can propose one of three options: a combined birth-to-five approach that blends both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, a Head Start-only program, or an Early Head Start-only program, as long as services are delivered to families residing in the Carolina service area.
The announcement notes that the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has been modified, with a changed application due date and updates to Sections III.2 and IV.2. Because the Grants.gov application package was revised, applicants are required to re-download the updated package and use it for submission. The FOA also points applicants to Section IV.2 for specific instructions on uploading the three required application files. For help or questions, applicants may contact the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
Annual funding of up to $5,718,165 is available for program operations in this service area, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount and an expectation of up to two awards. The original closing date listed for the opportunity is December 15, 2015, though the FOA emphasizes that the due date has changed, meaning applicants need to rely on the updated FOA details rather than the older date fields alone.
Eligibility depends on whether an organization is applying to operate Head Start (alone or in combination with Early Head Start) versus applying for Early Head Start only, and the FOA stresses that these eligibility rules are different. For Head Start-only or combined Head Start and Early Head Start proposals, eligible applicants are limited to local public or private non-profit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies within the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). Applicants must also 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 Early Head Start-only proposals, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)) and includes any public or private non-profit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) and for-profit agencies that can provide Early Head Start services in the service area; organizations already operating Head Start programs are also eligible to operate Early Head Start.
The FOA explicitly welcomes faith-based and community organizations that meet the requirements, and it directs faith-based applicants to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations (acf.hhs.gov/acf-policy-on-grants-to-faith-based-organizations). At the same time, it clearly excludes applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and from foreign entities; those applications will be disqualified from competitive review and are not eligible for funding under this announcement.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R02 1025
