Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R07 1722
The Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership Grants opportunity for Douglas County, Nebraska is a competitive federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). It is a discretionary grant designed to increase the availability of high-quality, comprehensive services for low-income infants and toddlers (and their families) by either expanding Early Head Start (EHS) program slots directly or by building Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships that connect Head Start standards and resources with local child care providers. The overarching goal is to broaden access to services that support early learning and healthy development while also strengthening family well-being.
Funding for this opportunity is listed at approximately $2,841,069 total, with an expected two awards. The award ceiling is $2,841,069, which signals the maximum amount anticipated for an individual award under this announcement. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.600. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R07 1722, and the opportunity was created on September 12, 2019.
A key feature of the announcement is its emphasis on two pathways: expanding traditional Early Head Start services and/or developing EHS-CC Partnerships. In practice, EHS expansion generally means increasing the number of children and families served directly by an EHS grantee using the Early Head Start model. EHS-CC Partnerships, on the other hand, typically focus on improving the supply and quality of infant and toddler care by partnering with child care programs so that families can access full-day, full-year care settings that are better aligned with Head Start Program Performance Standards, including comprehensive child development services and strong family engagement components.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public and private entities, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements described in section 645A of the Head Start Act. Eligible applicants specifically listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This means the competition is open not only to traditional public agencies and nonprofits, but also to certain for-profit providers that are eligible under the statute, which aligns with the partnership model that often involves community child care providers.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically via Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The original closing date listed is November 12, 2019. For applicants needing process guidance, OHS points prospective applicants to ACFs general grant application instructions webpage (https://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/howto#chapter-4), which covers how to register, submit an application, and understand the federal grant review process. The notice also provides a direct email contact (EHS.CCPartnerships@acf.hhs.gov) for parties seeking additional information specific to the Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership approach or the broader competition.
Overall, this grant opportunity is meant to strengthen the infant-toddler early care system in Douglas County by directing federal resources toward programs that can demonstrate the capacity to deliver high-quality early childhood services and comprehensive family supports, either by scaling Early Head Start directly or by improving and expanding community-based child care through formal partnerships tied to Early Head Start standards and expectations.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R07 1722
