Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R3 0115
The Head Start/Early Head Start Recipient opportunity for communities in Maryland is a discretionary federal grant 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 recipients to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs in specific, defined service areas within the state. These programs are designed to deliver comprehensive early childhood services to eligible children and families, which typically includes early learning, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and coordination with community resources. The notice provided is a forecast, meaning it is an advance announcement that the funding opportunity is expected to be posted, and it specifically notes that the forecast was updated to change the estimated posting date and the estimated application due date.
Funding is not offered as a statewide allocation that applicants can use anywhere in Maryland; instead, it is tied to particular communities and service areas that OHS identifies. The forecast emphasizes that the number of service areas listed is a projection and may change before the final Notice of Funding Opportunity is officially posted. Because of that, prospective applicants are expected to monitor the official listing of service areas and associated funding levels through the link referenced in the opportunity materials. That listing is where applicants can confirm which communities are available for competition, what the funding amounts are for each service area, and whether OHS has posted updates that affect eligibility, boundaries, or funding expectations.
A wide range of entities can apply, reflecting the way Head Start services are often delivered through local operators with established community presence. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; and for-profit organizations, including small businesses. The forecast also explicitly calls out public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit organizations, signaling that OHS is open to different organizational models as long as the applicant can meet program requirements and demonstrate the capacity to deliver high-quality services to the eligible population in the designated service area.
From a funding and awards standpoint, the opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 93.600 and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, which aligns with Head Start's focus on promoting school readiness and supporting family well-being. The opportunity anticipates about three awards, with an award ceiling listed at $2,813,509. In practice, the actual award amounts and the number of awards depend on the final list of competed service areas and the funding levels assigned to each one, so applicants should treat the ceiling and expected awards as planning figures rather than guarantees.
Administratively, applications must be submitted electronically and must be received by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the stated due date. The source data shows an original closing date of December 14, 2023, but the forecast language makes clear that dates were updated, so applicants should rely on the final posted notice for the definitive deadline. For questions or clarifications while preparing to apply, OHS directs applicants to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSgrants@koniag-gs.com. The opportunity number for tracking and search purposes is HHS-2024-ACF-OHS-CH-R3-0115, and the title is Head Start/Early Head Start Recipient -- Communities in the state of Maryland.Apply for HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R3 0115
