Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS CH R01 1746
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, opened a competitive discretionary grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs in specific parts of Connecticut. The service area covered by this competition includes Middlesex County and Hartford County, but it explicitly excludes the City of New Britain and the towns of Berlin, Enfield, Manchester, and Southington. The purpose is to fund comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children and families living in the included communities, using the Head Start and Early Head Start model that combines early learning, health, family well-being supports, and related wraparound services.
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2020 ACF OHS CH R01 1746 and is categorized as a discretionary grant in the Income Security and Social Services activity area (CFDA 93.600). ACF indicated that $10,130,032 per year would be available to support program operations across the defined geographic area, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount. The announcement anticipated up to three awards, suggesting that ACF may fund multiple providers or structure awards in a way that divides services among more than one grantee to ensure adequate coverage and capacity.
Eligibility for applicants is broad and includes many types of public and private entities that can demonstrate the ability to run Head Start and/or Early Head Start services. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. In practical terms, this means community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, education entities, and governmental bodies could all apply, as long as they can meet Head Start performance expectations and deliver services effectively within the defined counties and exclusions.
Key dates included a creation date of September 12, 2019, with an original application closing date of November 12, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
