Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R07 1517
The Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Wyandotte County, Kansas is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). Its purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Wyandotte County. The funding supports comprehensive early childhood programming, meaning applicants are expected to deliver the full Head Start or Early Head Start model rather than a limited or single-service project.
The total annual funding available for this service area is $6,907,789, which represents the approximate yearly operating amount intended to cover program services for the local eligible population. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of two, suggesting OHS may fund up to two separate grantees (for example, to cover different age groups, program options, or geographic/service delivery needs within the county), depending on the applications received and how the funding is structured in the final awards. The award ceiling is listed as $6,907,789, which aligns with the total annual amount available for the county.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to compete. Eligible applicants include public entities such as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); and public or state-controlled higher education institutions. The competition is also open to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (including community-based and faith-based nonprofits), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). In short, the competition is designed to allow both traditional public/nonprofit early childhood providers and qualified private operators to apply, as long as they can meet Head Start and/or Early Head Start program requirements.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-1517, and it falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). Applications were created/posted on September 18, 2018, with an original closing date of November 19, 2018.
