Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R02 1414

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is inviting organizations to apply for grant funding to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs serving families in a defined group of municipalities in New Jersey: West Milford, Ringwood, Wanaque, Pompton Lakes, Wayne, Prospect Park, Hawthorne, Haledon, North Haledon, Little Falls, Woodland Park, Clifton, Bloomingdale, and Totowa. This is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R02 1414) intended to ensure eligible children and families in these communities have access to comprehensive early childhood services.

The opportunity makes up to $5,226,167 available each year to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start services. The published award ceiling is $5,226,167, and ACF anticipates making about two awards, suggesting the service area and funding may be split across more than one grantee or structured to support multiple providers depending on application outcomes and program design. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is tied to CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start), which signals the federal program authority and the general policy and performance expectations associated with Head Start and Early Head Start operations.

A wide range of applicant types are eligible to compete. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations, including small businesses. The announcement explicitly notes that public or private nonprofits (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit entities may apply, as long as they propose to provide Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for the specified municipalities and meet the program requirements.

Key timing details included in the notice indicate the opportunity was created on September 18, 2018, with an original closing date of November 19, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the listed due date. For organizations seeking clarification or additional technical information connected to applying, the notice directs prospective applicants to contact the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.

In practical terms, applicants are being asked to compete to become (or serve as) the local provider responsible for delivering Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services across the listed New Jersey municipalities, using the annual federal funding amount to support services to eligible children and their families. The core purpose of the funding is to operate early childhood programming and related family supports consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start expectations for comprehensive services, targeted to the residents of the identified communities.
