Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1457
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), announced a discretionary grant competition to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Sumter, Clarendon, Kershaw, and Lee Counties in South Carolina. The opportunity is intended to fund comprehensive early childhood programs that meet federal Head Start and Early Head Start requirements, serving infants and toddlers (Early Head Start) and preschool-age children (Head Start), while also supporting family well-being through required family engagement and related services.
The total funding available under this announcement is $7,657,063 per year, with an award ceiling equal to that annual amount and an expectation of up to two awards. Funding is provided as a grant under Assistance Listing/CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). Applicants are expected to propose a service approach that ensures high-quality early learning and development, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, nutrition supports, and strong family partnerships, consistent with the Head Start Program Performance Standards. The focus is specifically on delivering these services to eligible children and families residing within the four named counties.
A wide range of entity types are eligible to apply, reflecting the program's intent to allow both public and private community operators to compete. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits). This broad eligibility means applicants can include traditional Head Start agencies, local governments, school systems, higher education institutions with early childhood capacity, community-based providers, faith-based organizations, and private operators capable of meeting federal program requirements.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1457 and a creation date of September 20, 2018. The original closing date listed was November 19, 2018, with applications required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Organizations seeking more information were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
In practical terms, this competition is about identifying an operator (or operators) with the infrastructure, staffing plan, governance and financial controls, community partnerships, and program design needed to run Head Start and/or Early Head Start services across the specified South Carolina counties at the scale supported by the annual award amount. The selected grantee(s) would be responsible for delivering federally compliant services and maintaining performance, reporting, and oversight expectations associated with Head Start funding.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1457
