Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS HP 1386
The Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-HP-1386; CFDA 93.600) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start. Its central goal is to increase the number of low-income infants and toddlers who can access high-quality, comprehensive early learning and family support services. ACF plans to do this in two related ways: by funding Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships that connect Early Head Start programs with child care providers to deliver full-day, full-year services, and by funding the direct expansion of Early Head Start services where communities need additional infant-toddler capacity.
ACF announced that roughly 140 million dollars would be available in total for competitive awards under this announcement, with an estimated 60 awards expected. Individual awards could be as large as 8,000,000 dollars (award ceiling), indicating that applicants could propose sizable expansions or partnership models depending on local need, available partners, and their ability to meet Head Start performance expectations. Because the focus is on infants and toddlers and their families, the funded work is intended to support not only early learning and development, but also broader family well-being through comprehensive services consistent with Early Head Start requirements.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and private organizations, as long as they meet the eligibility provisions referenced in section 645A of the Head Start Act. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This wide eligibility framework is designed to allow communities to build effective local approaches, whether that means a government-led expansion, a nonprofit-led partnership with child care centers and family child care homes, or another eligible structure that can meet Early Head Start standards and accountability expectations.
The application timeline for the original posting shows a creation date of October 29, 2018, with an original closing date of November 30, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. ACF also directs prospective applicants to the ACF grants "how to apply" resources (https://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/howto#chapter-4), which walk applicants through registration steps, preparing and submitting an application package in Grants.gov, and what to expect in the federal review process. For opportunity-specific questions or additional information, applicants were invited to contact the program via email at EHS.CCPartnerships@acf.hhs.gov.
Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at expanding infant-toddler early childhood systems by adding more high-quality slots and strengthening service delivery through partnerships. It sits within the Income Security and Social Services funding activity category and uses the standard federal grant instrument, with ACF/OHS overseeing the competition and awards.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS HP 1386
