Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R05 1492
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), announced a competitive grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Lucas County, Ohio. The purpose of the competition is to award federal funding to an eligible applicant that can deliver comprehensive early childhood development programming for children and families who meet Head Start and Early Head Start eligibility requirements in that county. The funding is intended to support the full range of required Head Start and Early Head Start services, which typically include early learning and school readiness programming, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and strong engagement with parents and caregivers.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA 93.600) with an annual funding amount up to $9,688,385, listed as the award ceiling. The announcement anticipated making up to three awards, meaning ACF expected it could fund multiple grantees or multiple service approaches depending on application quality, service design, and local needs. Awards under this type of program are generally structured to ensure grantees can provide direct services, meet federal performance standards, and maintain oversight systems that support quality, compliance, and continuous improvement.
A wide range of entities were eligible to apply. Eligible applicants included public entities such as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities). The competition was also open to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). This broad eligibility reflects the Head Start program model, where services may be delivered by community-based nonprofits, education providers, governments, and other qualified organizations capable of operating early childhood programs at scale.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1492 and an original application closing date of November 19, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically, with a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing also notes that interested applicants could contact the OHS Operations Center for additional information by emailing OHSTech@reviewops.org, which is commonly used to provide procedural guidance for applicants navigating the application and submission process.
In practical terms, applicants were being asked to propose how they would organize and deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start programming across Lucas County, including staffing, facilities, partnerships, and service delivery plans that align with federal Head Start requirements. Because the funding level is substantial and the program involves direct services to young children and families, successful applicants typically need to demonstrate operational capacity, sound fiscal controls, experience in early childhood services (or a credible plan to build that capacity), and a strategy for meeting the comprehensive needs of eligible families in the local community.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CH R05 1492
