Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R06 1255
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Midland County, Texas" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-1255), is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start (OHS). The purpose is to select a single grantee to operate high-quality early childhood services for eligible children and families living in Midland County, Texas. Applicants may propose a comprehensive birth-to-five approach that blends both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they may apply to operate only Head Start (generally serving preschool-age children) or only Early Head Start (generally serving pregnant people, infants, and toddlers). The emphasis is on delivering a complete, high-quality program rather than isolated services, meaning applicants should be prepared to provide the kind of coordinated early learning, health, and family support model associated with Head Start and Early Head Start programming.
The announcement indicates annual funding of approximately $2,194,971 to support services in Midland County, with an award ceiling listed at $2,252,963. Only one award is expected, so organizations are essentially competing to become the designated local provider for these Head Start and/or Early Head Start slots in the county. The grant falls under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA number 93.600, which corresponds to Head Start. As with other Head Start competitions, applicants are expected to demonstrate the capacity to meet Head Start Program Performance Standards and to run a strong, compliant program that can deliver measurable benefits for children and families, including school readiness and family well-being outcomes.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the ability to operate the program effectively. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or 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; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those categories); for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); and small businesses. In practical terms, this allows community-based providers, faith-based organizations, school systems, higher education institutions, tribes, and private operators to compete, as long as they can deliver the required comprehensive services and meet federal Head Start requirements.
Key dates listed in the source information show the opportunity record created on June 6, 2018, with an original application closing date of August 6, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For organizations seeking guidance on how to apply, OHS points applicants to the ACF "How to Apply for Grants" resources (including registration steps for Grants.gov, how to submit, and an overview of the federal review process). Additional resources are also referenced through the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC) funding opportunity locator materials, which can help applicants understand the competition context and access related application supports.
For questions or to request more information, interested applicants are directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. Overall, the opportunity is designed to ensure that Midland County has a capable, well-resourced grantee operating either a combined birth-to-five Head Start/Early Head Start model or a program focused specifically on Head Start or Early Head Start, using the annual federal funding to provide comprehensive, high-quality services to eligible local children and families.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R06 1255
