Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACF OHS CH R6 0181
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), and it is designed to select grant recipients to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start services to eligible children and families in Louisiana. The competition is for one specifically defined service area within the state, meaning applicants are not proposing a statewide program, but rather applying to operate Head Start/Early Head Start within the geographic area and scope OHS has identified as available for competition. The program focus falls under income security and social services and is tied to CFDA number 93.600, which is the longstanding federal assistance listing associated with Head Start.
The opportunity is discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument. OHS is seeking providers that can run comprehensive early childhood programs that meet Head Start and Early Head Start requirements, typically including early learning and development, health and developmental screenings, family engagement, and support services that respond to the needs of low-income children and families. Applicants may propose to provide Head Start, Early Head Start, or a combination, depending on what the service area competition makes available and what the applicant can responsibly operate in alignment with federal performance standards and local community needs.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. Eligible entities 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 Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status; nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); and small businesses. In practical terms, this means OHS is open to applications from many kinds of organizations, including community-based and faith-based nonprofits, as well as for-profit operators, as long as they can meet the full Head Start/Early Head Start program requirements and demonstrate capacity to provide high-quality services.
Funding levels depend on the specific service area within Louisiana that is being competed, and the announcement directs interested applicants to consult the link provided in the official posting to see the list of available service areas and their corresponding funding amounts. The notice lists an award ceiling of $8,575,471 and anticipates approximately three awards, which suggests that multiple service areas or multiple awards under the broader announcement may be expected, even though the description emphasizes that funding is available in one individually defined service area within Louisiana and applicants should verify details through the additional information link. For questions or clarifications, applicants are encouraged to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSgrants@koniag-gs.com.
Key administrative dates and submission requirements are also provided. The funding opportunity was created on November 10, 2022, with an application closing date of January 24, 2023. Applications must be submitted electronically by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date, which is important for Louisiana applicants to note given the time zone difference. The announcement also includes an operational warning related to SAM.gov: due to high demand, entity validation for legal business names and addresses may be delayed, so organizations are urged to begin SAM registration or updates as early as possible to avoid last-minute submission disruptions. The notice points applicants to a SAM.gov/FSD resource page for guidance on navigating the validation process.Apply for HHS 2023 ACF OHS CH R6 0181
