Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS CH R02 1747
This grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding 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). The 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 specific parts of Broome County, New York: the City of Binghamton; the Villages of Johnson City and Port Dickinson; and the Towns of Conklin, Kirkwood, and Binghamton. In practical terms, the competition is about choosing the local grantee(s) responsible for delivering comprehensive early childhood and family support services in that defined service area.
The funding is tied to the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) and is intended to support the full model of Head Start and/or Early Head Start, which typically includes early learning and school readiness programming, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement services, and other required program components under federal Head Start rules. The announcement is seeking applicants that can demonstrate the capacity to serve eligible infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children (depending on whether they propose Early Head Start, Head Start, or a mix) and to work directly with families across the targeted communities in Broome County.
The total amount identified for this service area is $4,861,819 per year, listed as the annual award ceiling. The notice also indicates an expectation of up to two awards, meaning OHS may fund one or two grantees to cover the full set of services and geography described. Awards are made as grants under a discretionary funding instrument, and the overall activity category is classified as Income Security and Social Services, which aligns with Head Start's role in supporting child development and family stability.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that could plausibly operate Head Start programs. Eligible applicants include 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 (including Indian housing authorities); nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). The description also explicitly notes that public or private nonprofits, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit organizations, may apply, as long as they can meet Head Start program requirements and successfully compete.
Key administrative details in the source show the opportunity number as HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-1747, with a creation date of September 12, 2019. The original application closing date listed is November 12, 2019, with the standard instruction that electronic submissions must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For applicants seeking clarification or additional information connected to submission logistics, the announcement points them to the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
Overall, this is a competitive solicitation to designate the organization(s) that will run Head Start and/or Early Head Start in the specified Broome County jurisdictions, supported by roughly $4.86 million annually, with the expectation that the selected grantee(s) will deliver the full scope of federally required Head Start services to eligible children and families in that community.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS CH R02 1747
