Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1866
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee -- Communities in the state of Illinois" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1866), is a discretionary federal grant offered through 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 is to fund organizations that will operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs for eligible children and families in Illinois. In practical terms, the award supports the delivery of comprehensive early childhood services that Head Start and Early Head Start are known for, including early learning, health and developmental supports, and family-focused services designed to strengthen outcomes for young children and their caregivers.
The opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types, reflecting the program's community-based delivery model. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city or township), independent school districts, public and state-controlled colleges and universities, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities). It also allows applications from nonprofit organizations, whether or not they hold 501(c)(3) status, as well as for-profit organizations, including small businesses. This broad eligibility means applicants can come from many different sectors as long as they can demonstrate the capacity to administer Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in line with federal program requirements.
Funding is tied to service delivery in Illinois, with the notice indicating that dollars may be available across two individually defined service areas within the state. The specific boundaries and details of those service areas are not locked in at the time of the summary and may change until the formal funding opportunity announcement is published, which matters for potential applicants trying to determine the exact communities, counties, or catchment areas included. Organizations that want clarification or updates about the service areas or other pre-announcement details are directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org, which is the main point of contact referenced in the source information.
From the financial and competitive perspective, this opportunity lists an award ceiling of $157,599,474 and anticipates approximately 27 awards. While the ceiling represents the maximum amount shown in the listing (often reflecting the potential total amount across awards or the upper boundary for the competition), actual award amounts typically vary depending on the size of the service area, the number of children to be served, local needs, and program design. The funding activity category is "Income Security and Social Services," and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.600, which corresponds to Head Start.
Key dates included in the source data show the opportunity record creation date as October 28, 2020, with an original closing date of January 5, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a common federal grants standard and important for applicants operating in Central Time (Illinois) who must account for the time difference and submission system processing time. Overall, the opportunity is meant to select qualified grantees capable of running Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in designated Illinois communities, with eligibility spanning public agencies, educational institutions, tribes, housing authorities, nonprofits, and for-profit entities.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1866
