Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS CH R06 1621

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), is offering 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 Smith County, Texas. The opportunity is intended to fund comprehensive early childhood programming, meaning applicants are expected to provide the full range of Head Start/Early Head Start services required under federal program rules, typically including early learning and development, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and strong parent and community engagement components tailored to local needs.

The annual funding amount available is $3,220,377, which also serves as the award ceiling listed for the opportunity. The announcement anticipates making up to two awards, indicating that OHS may fund one or more providers to cover the service area depending on the applications received and the program design proposed. The relevant Assistance Listing/CFDA number is 93.600, and the funding instrument is a grant under the broader category of income security and social services.

A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. This includes public entities (such as state, county, and city/township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. It also includes higher education institutions (public, state-controlled, and private), as well as nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (including community-based and faith-based organizations). For-profit organizations are also eligible, including small businesses and other for-profit entities (other than small businesses). In practice, this broad eligibility means both established early childhood providers and organizations that can credibly build the required infrastructure and partnerships may compete, as long as they can meet Head Start and/or Early Head Start program expectations and demonstrate the capacity to serve the eligible population in Smith County.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title, "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee -- Smith County, Texas," and the funding opportunity number HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-1621.
