Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R04 1021
The Head Start Grantee - Oldham County, Kentucky funding opportunity (HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1021) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start. It invites eligible organizations to apply for funding to operate Head Start program services for children and families living in Oldham County, Kentucky. The grant falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and supports income security and social service activities through comprehensive early childhood services.
This announcement notes that the FOA was modified, with a key change being an updated application due date and revisions to specific FOA sections (Sections III.2 and IV.2). Because the Grants.gov application package itself was revised, applicants are instructed to re-download the updated electronic Grant Application Package and use that version to submit their application. The FOA also points applicants to Section IV.2 for specific instructions on uploading three required application files, signaling that file packaging and submission steps are important for a compliant application.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an annual amount available of $651,084 (also listed as the award ceiling). The intent is to fund an organization capable of delivering the full range of Head Start services to eligible children and families in the county, consistent with Head Start program expectations (for example, early learning and development supports and broader family-focused services typically associated with Head Start grants). The competition is open to a wide range of entity types, including local governments (county, city, township), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding IHEs in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (including other-than-small-business and small business categories), and certain other public entities. The FOA explicitly welcomes community-based and faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, and it directs faith-based applicants to ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
At the same time, the eligibility rules clearly exclude applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, as well as foreign entities; those submissions are stated to be disqualified from competitive review and ineligible for funding under this announcement. For applicants seeking clarifications or additional information, the FOA provides a point of contact at the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. The original closing date shown in the source information is December 15, 2015, but the FOA emphasizes that the due date changed as part of the modification, so applicants would need to rely on the updated FOA and the revised Grants.gov package for the correct deadline and submission requirements.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R04 1021
