Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS CH R04 1684

The grant opportunity titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee -- The City of Columbia, South Carolina" is a discretionary federal funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). It invites organizations to apply to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start service provider for eligible children and families living in the City of Columbia, South Carolina. The goal is to fund comprehensive early childhood services that support school readiness and healthy development for low-income infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, while also offering family-focused supports that are typical of Head Start and Early Head Start programming.

The funding instrument is a grant, and the program is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The annual funding amount available is up to $1,210,435, which is also the stated award ceiling, and the announcement anticipates making one award. In practical terms, that means ACF expects to select a single grantee to operate the funded Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in the defined service area (the City of Columbia). Applicants are competing to be the local operator responsible for delivering the full set of Head Start/Early Head Start program components, which generally include high-quality early learning services, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, nutrition, mental health supports, family engagement, and coordination with community partners.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the capacity to operate an early childhood program at the required scale and in compliance with Head Start Program Performance Standards. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The announcement also explicitly notes that public or private nonprofits, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit organizations, may apply, reflecting the program's intent to attract a range of qualified operators capable of serving local families.

Key administrative details included in the notice are the funding opportunity number (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1684) and the original posting and deadline timeline.
