Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1064
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking applicants to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee for Wayne County, Michigan, specifically excluding the City of Detroit. The goal is to fund organizations that can operate a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants may propose to deliver a blended program that includes both Head Start and Early Head Start, or they may apply to provide only Head Start or only Early Head Start services, as long as the children and families served reside in the eligible service area (Wayne County outside Detroit).
The annual funding available under this opportunity is $24,143,628, intended to support direct program services for eligible children and their families. ACF anticipates making up to five awards, which suggests the service area may be divided among multiple grantees or that awards may cover different program configurations (Head Start, Early Head Start, or both). The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the program aligns with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 93.600 (Head Start). The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1064 and is administered by ACF-OHS.
A key administrative point in this announcement is that the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) was modified. The application due date was changed, and edits were made to Sections III.2 and IV.2. Because of those changes, the electronic application package on Grants.gov was revised. Applicants are required to re-download the updated Grants.gov application package and use that version for submission. The FOA also notes specific instructions for uploading three required application files, and applicants are expected to follow the updated guidance in Section IV.2 to avoid submission problems.
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is seeking to operate Head Start (alone or combined with Early Head Start) versus applying for Early Head Start only. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only, or Head Start plus Early Head Start), eligibility is limited by the Head Start Act to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area that can provide Head Start services there. These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act (Section 641(a)(1), 42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply, consistent with Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), as long as they can deliver Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly allowed to apply to operate Early Head Start as well.
The FOA makes clear that faith-based organizations are eligible if they meet the same program and legal requirements as other applicants, and it points applicants to ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations (referenced in the announcement). At the same time, certain applicants are not allowed: individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and funding.
For applicants looking for clarification or operational guidance, the announcement directs questions to the OHS Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. This is positioned as a practical resource for navigating the application process, particularly given the revised application package and updated submission instructions.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R05 1064
