Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R04 1050
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking one organization to serve as the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee for Duplin County, North Carolina. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program that can deliver Head Start services, Early Head Start services, or a combined model using both funding streams. The award is intended to support eligible children and families in the county with the full range of required Head Start and Early Head Start program components, which typically include early learning and development, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support services, and strong program management and oversight aligned with Head Start Program Performance Standards.
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) was modified, and the key practical impact is that the application due date changed and portions of the FOA were updated, specifically Sections III.2 and IV.2. Because of these revisions, the Grants.gov application package was also updated. Applicants are expected to re-download the updated package and use it for submission, following the FOA instructions for uploading the required application files (the FOA notes that guidance for uploading three application files is provided in Section IV.2). Applicants who rely on an older download of the package risk submitting an application that does not meet the updated submission requirements.
Funding is available at up to $1,265,540 per year, and ACF expects to make a single award for this service area. The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The funding instrument is a grant, and the program area is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The original closing date listed for this opportunity is December 15, 2015, though the FOA emphasizes that the due date was changed as part of the modification, so applicants need to follow the updated date in the current FOA materials rather than relying on earlier postings.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is proposing Head Start only, Early Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start approach, and the FOA highlights that these eligibility rules are not identical. For applicants seeking to operate Head Start only, or both Head Start and Early Head Start together, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit organizations within the service area that can provide Head Start services in Duplin County. These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act (Section 641(a)(1)).
For applicants seeking to operate Early Head Start only, the eligibility rules are somewhat broader under the Head Start Act (Section 645A(d)). Public or private nonprofits, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit organizations, may apply as long as they are in the service area and can deliver Early Head Start services to families in Duplin County. The FOA also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs may apply to operate Early Head Start, and that faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet program requirements. Faith-based applicants are encouraged to consult ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations (referenced in the FOA).
A wide range of entity types appear in the eligible applicant categories provided with the source data, including various levels of government (state, county, city/township), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). However, the FOA text itself emphasizes the statutory eligibility framework tied to Head Start and Early Head Start and the requirement that the applicant be able to serve the specific local service area. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible; applications from those parties will be disqualified and will not move forward for competitive review or funding.
