Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R03 1396
The federal government is seeking applicants to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee serving children and families in Erie County, Pennsylvania. This opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Head Start (OHS). The purpose is to fund an organization (or organizations) to operate comprehensive early childhood services for eligible low-income children and their families in the county, consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start program requirements. The announcement makes clear that it is a competitive process intended to select capable providers that can deliver high-quality services at the local level.
Funding available under this competition totals $7,892,957 per year, which functions as the annual award ceiling for this grant opportunity. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and it falls under the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category. The associated CFDA number is 93.600, which is the federal assistance listing for Head Start. The notice anticipates making up to three awards, meaning the government may fund more than one organization depending on how service areas, program models, or operational needs are structured.
A wide range of entities are eligible to apply, reflecting an effort to attract strong operators from multiple sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; 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 (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); and for-profit organizations, including small businesses. The eligibility language also explicitly welcomes community-based and faith-based organizations, alongside other public or private nonprofit providers and for-profit entities that can meet program standards and performance expectations.
The official funding opportunity title is “Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee -- Erie County, Pennsylvania,” and the funding opportunity number is HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-1396. The opportunity was created on September 19, 2018, with an original application closing date of November 19, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a common federal submission standard and implies that late submissions would not be accepted.
For organizations considering this type of competition, the core expectation is the ability to provide Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services to eligible children and families residing in Erie County. In practice, Head Start and Early Head Start grants are used to support comprehensive early childhood programming, which typically includes early learning and development services, family engagement and support, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, nutrition services, and services for children with disabilities, all delivered within a framework that emphasizes school readiness and strong family partnerships. While the notice does not list specific program design details, it indicates that the funds are intended to cover the full scope of Head Start and/or Early Head Start services required under federal rules for the target population in the county.
Applicants who need additional details or operational guidance were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. This contact is presented as the point of entry for questions tied to the competition and likely includes support related to the application process, technical issues, or clarifications about the funding announcement.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R03 1396
