Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R8 0112

The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), is planning to award discretionary grant funding to select organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs in specific communities within Colorado. The opportunity is focused on delivering comprehensive early childhood and family support services to eligible children and families in defined service areas. Because the funding is tied to particular geographic service areas, applicants are expected to propose services that directly cover those communities and meet all applicable Head Start Program Performance Standards and federal grant requirements.

This notice is a forecast and has been updated to reflect changes to the estimated posting date and the estimated application due date. The number of projected service areas listed in the forecast is not guaranteed and may change before the official Notice of Funding Opportunity is posted. Anyone considering applying is expected to check the linked additional information page for the most current list of available Colorado service areas, the anticipated funding levels for each area, and any updates leading up to the formal competition.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that are capable of operating early childhood programs at scale. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; independent school districts; public and private 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 higher education institutions for those categories); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits). This means both traditional public and nonprofit providers as well as qualified for-profit operators can compete, as long as they can meet Head Start and/or Early Head Start requirements and demonstrate capacity to serve the identified community needs.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R8 0112 and is associated with Assistance Listing (CFDA) 93.600. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the instrument type is a grant. OHS anticipates making about five awards under this competition, with an overall award ceiling listed at $16,517,613. Actual award amounts will depend on the specific service area funding levels and the final number of service areas included when the formal announcement is released.

Applications must be submitted electronically, and the submission deadline is 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the published due date. The record shows an original closing date of December 14, 2023, but because the forecast has been modified to update estimated dates, prospective applicants should rely on the final dates and instructions provided in the posted Notice of Funding Opportunity rather than the earlier forecast details.

For practical next steps, interested applicants should review the detailed service area listings and funding amounts through the link provided in the official posting and monitor for updates. Questions or requests for additional information can be directed to the OHS Operations Center at OHSgrants@koniag-gs.com, which is the contact point identified for this competition.
