Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R02 1285
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), released a discretionary grant competition to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Kings County, New York. The opportunity is aimed at funding comprehensive early childhood services that Head Start and Early Head Start programs are known for, including early learning and development, family support, and related services designed to promote school readiness and healthy development for children in low-income households.
The funding opportunity is titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Kings County, New York" with Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-1285. It is offered as a grant under the federal assistance listing (CFDA) 93.600, categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The announcement indicates an annual funding amount (also listed as the award ceiling) of $7,062,477 to support the delivery of Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services in Kings County. ACF anticipated making up to two awards, meaning the agency expected either to fund a single organization for the full service area or split the service responsibility across two organizations, depending on the applications received and program design proposed.
A wide range of applicant types were eligible to apply, reflecting the program's emphasis on community capacity and local service delivery. Eligible applicants included 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 with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). This broad eligibility allowed both established early childhood providers and other community-based entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, to compete to run the program, so long as they could meet Head Start and/or Early Head Start requirements and demonstrate the ability to serve eligible children and families in Kings County.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date listed in the announcement. The original closing date for this competition was April 9, 2018, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of February 8, 2018. Organizations seeking additional guidance or clarifications were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org, which served as the support channel for applicants preparing submissions.
In practical terms, this announcement was a competitive solicitation to identify the grantee(s) responsible for operating federally funded Head Start and/or Early Head Start slots in Kings County, ensuring that qualifying local families could access early childhood education and related family-focused supports funded by ACF. The funding level and expected number of awards signal a sizable service footprint within the county and a need for applicants to demonstrate strong operational readiness, community partnerships, and the ability to deliver program services at scale consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start standards.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R02 1285
