Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS HP R09 1598
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership Grants - Communities in Los Angeles County, California" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-HP-R09-1598), is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The overall goal is to increase the availability of high-quality, comprehensive Early Head Start services for low-income infants and toddlers (and their families) in specific high-need neighborhoods within Los Angeles County. The money is intended to either expand direct Early Head Start programming or to build and support Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships that blend Early Head Start standards with community child care capacity, so that more children can be served in settings that meet strong early learning, health, and family support requirements.
The opportunity makes approximately $6,763,597 available for competitive awards, with an expectation of about three awards total. While the listing highlights the overall funding level and anticipated number of awards, the exact amount an individual applicant might receive would depend on the scope of services proposed, the number of children served, and how the applicant structures expansion or partnership activities consistent with Head Start requirements. The program sits under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 93.600 (Head Start).
The geographic focus is narrowly defined: funded services must target eligible families residing in the following Los Angeles County communities: Adams-Normandie, Bell, Bell Gardens, Boyle Heights, Central Alameda, Commerce, Cudahy, Downtown, East Los Angeles, Exposition Park, Florence-Graham, Green Meadows, Hayward Park, Manchester Square, Maywood, South Central, South Gate, South Park, University Park, Vermont Knolls, Vermont Square, Vermont-Slauson, Vernon, Walnut Park, and Watts. In practical terms, applicants need to demonstrate that their proposed enrollment and service delivery plans will actually reach infants and toddlers from these neighborhoods, not just operate somewhere in the county. The intent is place-based expansion in communities with high concentrations of low-income families and limited access to high-quality early care and education options for children from birth to age three.
ACF is looking for proposals that expand access to "high-quality, comprehensive services," which in the Early Head Start context generally means more than child supervision or basic early learning activities. Early Head Start programs are designed to provide a full set of supports for very young children and their caregivers, typically including developmentally appropriate early education, health and developmental screening, connections to medical and dental care, nutrition supports, mental health consultation, services for children with disabilities, and robust family engagement and family support services. For partnership grants (EHS-CC), the emphasis is on working with child care providers to deliver Early Head Start-level quality in child care settings, which often includes provider coaching, quality improvement supports, alignment to Head Start Program Performance Standards, and ensuring comprehensive services are integrated into the partner sites.
Eligibility is broad, as long as applicants meet the requirements referenced in section 645A of the Head Start Act. ACF invites applications from public entities (including state and local governments) and from private organizations. The eligible applicant categories listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as described in the listing), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. In other words, applicants can come from government, nonprofit, education, tribal, housing, or private-sector backgrounds, but they must be able to meet the Head Start/Early Head Start eligibility and operational requirements and show they have the capacity to run or expand compliant services.
The competition was time-limited, with the opportunity created on June 20, 2019 and an original application due date of August 5, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The notice also points applicants to ACF's "How to Apply for Grants" resources (https://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/howto#chapter-4), which walks through the practical steps of registering for Grants.gov, preparing and submitting an application package, and understanding how ACF reviews and scores submissions. For questions or additional information specifically about the Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership component, ACF provided an email contact: EHS.CCPartnerships@acf.hhs.gov.
In summary, this is a targeted Early Head Start expansion and partnership funding opportunity intended to grow the supply of high-quality infant and toddler care and comprehensive family services in a defined set of Los Angeles County neighborhoods. It supports either direct program growth (more Early Head Start slots and services) or partnerships that bring Early Head Start standards into child care settings, with competitive awards expected to total roughly $6.76 million across about three grantees.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS HP R09 1598
