Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R04 1864
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). It is designed to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs for eligible children and families in communities within the state of Georgia. In practical terms, the award supports organizations that can deliver comprehensive early childhood services, which typically include early learning and school readiness activities, health and developmental services, family support, and other wraparound resources that Head Start and Early Head Start programs are known for.
The opportunity is identified as "Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee -- Communities in the state of Georgia" under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2021-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1864. It falls under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 93.600, which corresponds to Head Start. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity category is listed as discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive process based on the merit of submitted applications and the specific program requirements outlined by OHS.
A key feature of this announcement is that funding is expected to be available for one "individually defined service area" in Georgia, although the exact service areas can change up until the formal funding opportunity announcement is published. This matters because applicants generally need to propose how they will serve a particular geographic area and the eligible population within it, including plans for facilities, staffing, community partnerships, and program governance. The notice also signals that there may be multiple awards overall, with an expected total of three awards, which suggests OHS anticipated making several selections connected to the broader competition or related service areas.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and private entities. 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 Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations, including small businesses. The inclusion of both nonprofit and for-profit organizations indicates OHS is open to different organizational models, as long as the applicant can meet Head Start performance standards and program requirements.
The application timeline included a creation date of October 28, 2020, with an original closing date of January 5, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically, and the deadline specified was no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The award ceiling listed is $10,879,156, which represents the maximum amount indicated for an award under this competition. While the ceiling provides a sense of scale, actual award amounts typically depend on the defined service area, funded enrollment levels, program option (Head Start vs. Early Head Start), and other factors established in the final announcement and budget guidance.
For additional details before or during the competition, applicants were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. This contact point is meant for operational or technical questions related to the competition, including clarifications about the service area and application process, especially since service area definitions were noted as subject to change until the official funding opportunity announcement was released.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R04 1864
