Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R05 1294
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Office of Head Start (OHS), 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 in Barry, Calhoun, and St. Joseph Counties in Michigan. This is a discretionary grant (CFDA 93.600) intended to fund comprehensive early childhood programming, which typically includes early learning and development services, family support, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, nutrition services, and strong family engagement components, all delivered under the federal Head Start Program Performance Standards.
The total funding level highlighted in the announcement is 8,154,758 dollars per year, which also appears as the award ceiling. The opportunity anticipated up to three awards, meaning ACF could fund multiple grantees to cover the service area depending on how applications were structured and what ACF determined would best meet community needs. Applicants were expected to propose how they would deliver Head Start (generally serving preschool-age children) and/or Early Head Start (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people, depending on the model) to eligible families across the three-county region, including how they would ensure access, quality, and compliance with federal requirements.
Eligibility was broad and included many common public and private entities capable of running large human services programs. Eligible applicants included state, county, and local governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The announcement explicitly noted that public or private nonprofits, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit organizations, could compete, reflecting Head Start's approach of selecting a capable local provider through competition when a new grantee is needed.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2018-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1294 and a posting/creation date of February 8, 2018. The original application deadline was April 9, 2018, with the standard requirement that electronic submissions be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Applicants needing help or additional information were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org, which is commonly used to assist applicants with competition-specific questions and submission logistics.
In practical terms, this opportunity was about identifying an organization (or organizations) that could demonstrate the capacity, facilities plan, staffing approach, governance structure, community partnerships, and service delivery model needed to run Head Start and/or Early Head Start across these Michigan counties, using federal funds at a scale of roughly 8.15 million dollars annually.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R05 1294
