Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1389
The Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Harrison County, Mississippi is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Office of Head Start (OHS). The purpose of the funding is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Harrison County. In practice, this means delivering comprehensive early childhood programming that is typical of Head Start and Early Head Start, including early learning and development services along with family-focused supports that help parents and caregivers strengthen children s health, school readiness, and overall well-being.
This funding opportunity is identified as HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R04 1389 under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.600, and it is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The instrument type is a grant, and it is structured as a competitive process where multiple applicants may be considered. The announcement indicates an expectation of up to 3 awards, suggesting OHS anticipated either multiple service providers, multiple program options, or a competitive field where more than one award could be made depending on the proposed approach and program structure.
The annual funding amount available for services in Harrison County is listed as approximately 9,672,315 per year, with an award ceiling of 9,928,779. Applicants are expected to propose how they will use these federal funds to provide Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services, which typically include center based and or home based early childhood education, developmental screening and referrals, health and nutrition supports, mental health consultation, disability services, family engagement activities, and coordination with community partners. While the notice does not detail specific slot numbers or program options in the text provided, the dollar amount signals a sizable countywide early childhood operation that would require strong administrative capacity, compliance infrastructure, and community partnerships.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the capacity to operate the program in line with Head Start Program Performance Standards. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); for profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The description also explicitly notes that public or private nonprofits (including community based and faith based organizations) as well as for profit organizations may apply, reflecting OHS policy that awards are based on merit, capability, and compliance readiness rather than organizational type alone.
Key administrative details include the posting or creation date of June 6, 2018, and an original closing date of August 6, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is consistent with standard federal discretionary grant submission rules. OHS directs prospective applicants to federal grant application guidance hosted by ACF, including instructions on registering in Grants.gov, preparing and submitting an application package, and understanding the federal review process. In addition, applicants are encouraged to use the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC) resources, including the FOA locator map, which can help applicants find Head Start funding opportunities and related application support materials.
