Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1522
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announced a competitive grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Shelby County, Tennessee. This is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1522; CFDA 93.600) focused on income security and social services, and it is intended to fund comprehensive early childhood programming that supports school readiness and family well-being for low-income children, including infants and toddlers through Early Head Start and preschool-age children through Head Start.
The available funding is substantial: up to $23,909,288 per year to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services across the Shelby County service area. The announcement anticipates making multiple awards (expected awards: 5), meaning OHS may fund more than one provider or structure services through several grantees to meet local needs. The listed award ceiling matches the total annual amount available, indicating the full service area funding level, with final award amounts depending on the selected applicant(s), proposed program model(s), and the scope of services proposed.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply, reflecting the program's goal of attracting capable operators from different sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The description also explicitly notes that community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit organizations, may compete. In practical terms, this means local government entities, established nonprofit early childhood providers, school systems, higher education partners with early learning capacity, and qualified private providers could all be considered, as long as they can meet Head Start Program Performance Standards and related federal requirements.
Key logistics in the posting include the original application closing date of November 19, 2018, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was created on September 20, 2018. For applicants seeking help or clarification, the notice directs interested parties to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org for additional information, which is typically the support channel for application system questions and competition-related guidance.
Overall, the opportunity is a competitive procurement of Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee services specifically for Shelby County, Tennessee, backed by roughly $23.9 million in annual federal funding. The selected organization(s) would be responsible for delivering the full spectrum of Head Start and/or Early Head Start services to eligible children and families in the county, in line with federal program standards, with the intent of improving early learning outcomes, health and developmental supports, and family engagement and stability.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1522
