Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACF OHS CH R06 1252
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Office of Head Start (OHS). It seeks applicants to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee serving families with eligible children in six Texas counties: Calhoun, DeWitt, Gonzales, Jackson, Lavaca, and Victoria. The core purpose is to fund the delivery of a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program for children from birth through age five, with applicants able to propose a model that includes both Head Start and Early Head Start services together, or to apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and service design.
The program focus is on providing the full range of Head Start and Early Head Start services to eligible children and their families, which typically means not only early learning and school readiness supports, but also comprehensive family support services and coordination that address health, nutrition, mental health, disability services, and family engagement. The announcement emphasizes quality and comprehensiveness, signaling that applicants are expected to demonstrate the organizational systems, staffing, community partnerships, and oversight needed to meet Head Start Program Performance Standards while serving a multi-county service area.
Approximately $4,444,155 per year is available to support program operations across the listed counties. The notice lists an award ceiling of $4,671,627 and anticipates up to 2 awards, suggesting the funding could be split among more than one organization or awarded in a way that results in multiple grantees depending on how OHS decides to structure service coverage. The assistance is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 93.600, which corresponds to Head Start, and the funding instrument type is a grant.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education under those categories); and for-profit organizations, including small businesses. The inclusion of community-based and faith-based nonprofits as well as for-profit entities indicates that OHS is open to a wide range of applicants, provided they can meet federal program requirements and demonstrate the ability to run a compliant, high-performing early childhood system.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2017-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-1252 and an original closing date of February 14, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For questions or additional guidance, interested parties were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org, which is the point of contact provided in the announcement for operational and technical assistance related to the application process.
In practical terms, an applicant responding to this opportunity would be proposing to assume responsibility for delivering Head Start and/or Early Head Start services across the specified counties, using the annual federal funding amount to operate classrooms and/or home-based options as appropriate, hire and manage qualified staff, build or maintain partnerships for health and family services, conduct eligibility and enrollment activities, and ensure ongoing monitoring and compliance. Because the opportunity explicitly allows a birth-to-five approach combining Head Start and Early Head Start funds, it supports a continuum of services that can follow children and families from infancy and toddlerhood into preschool, as well as coordination with community providers to avoid duplication and improve coverage across the region.Apply for HHS 2017 ACF OHS CH R06 1252
