Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R08 1084
The Head Start Grantee - Yuma County, Colorado funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-1084) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). Its purpose is to select one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Yuma County, Colorado, using federal Head Start funds (CFDA 93.600) focused on income security and social services.
This announcement notes that the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) was modified, and those changes matter for anyone applying. The application due date was changed, and revisions were made specifically to Sections III.2 and IV.2 of the FOA. Just as importantly, the electronic Grant Application Package on Grants.gov was updated, meaning applicants are required to re-download the package and use the revised version when submitting. The FOA also provides specific instructions in Section IV.2 on how to upload three separate application files, so applicants are expected to follow that structure exactly when assembling and submitting materials.
The funding level available is $249,391 per year, with an award ceiling of $249,391 and an expectation of one award in total. In practical terms, this is a single grantee competition to run Head Start programming locally in Yuma County at roughly a quarter-million dollars annually, supporting comprehensive early childhood services consistent with Head Start requirements (serving eligible children and engaging their families).
Eligibility is broad across public and private sectors, as long as the applicant is an organization rather than an individual. Eligible applicants include local government entities (county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled colleges and universities, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and both nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including small businesses, and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status). The FOA explicitly welcomes community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements. At the same time, it clearly excludes applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, and excludes foreign entities; those submissions are stated to be ineligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and funding.
Faith-based organizations are specifically encouraged to consult ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations, referenced in the FOA as the "ACF Policy on Grants to Faith-Based Organizations" (link provided in the notice). That reference signals that faith-based applicants can compete on the same footing as others, but should ensure their approach aligns with applicable federal grant rules for such organizations.
For questions or additional guidance, the notice directs prospective applicants to contact the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. The original closing date listed in the source data is December 15, 2015, but because the FOA states the due date has changed, applicants would need to rely on the modified FOA and the current Grants.gov posting for the correct, updated deadline and submission requirements.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R08 1084
