Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R02 1027
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 Chenango County, New York. The goal is to fund an organization (or organizations) that can deliver a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program for eligible children and families, covering services from birth through age five. Applicants may propose to operate a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program (birth-to-five), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and eligibility.
The funding opportunity announcement (FOA) notes that it has been modified. Most importantly, the application due date has changed, and specific updates were made to Sections III.2 and IV.2 of the FOA. The Grants.gov electronic application package was also revised, which means applicants are required to re-download the updated package and use that version when submitting. The FOA also points applicants to Section IV.2 for the correct method to upload the three required application files. For technical or process questions, applicants can contact the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
The annual funding amount available is $2,589,037 (also reflected as the award ceiling), intended to support Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in the Chenango County service area. The opportunity is a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement award), and ACF anticipates making up to two awards. The program aligns with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and it is categorized under Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is seeking to run Head Start, Early Head Start, or both, and the FOA emphasizes that the requirements differ between the two program types. For applicants seeking Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start award, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area that can provide Head Start services to children and families in Chenango County. These applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)).
For applicants seeking 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 nonprofits (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 children and families residing in Chenango County. The FOA also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs are eligible to operate Early Head Start as well, and that faith-based organizations are eligible and encouraged to review ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
The FOA explicitly excludes applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and from foreign entities; those submissions are not eligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and funding. The opportunity is administered by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within HHS, and the funding opportunity is identified as HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-1027, with an original closing date of 2015-12-15 and a creation date of 2015-10-01 (while also noting the due date has since been changed via the modification).Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R02 1027
