Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1873
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), announced a discretionary grant competition for organizations interested in serving as the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee in certain Michigan communities. The purpose of the opportunity is to fund entities that can deliver comprehensive early childhood services to eligible children and families, consistent with Head Start and Early Head Start program requirements. The competition anticipates that funding could be made available across two separately defined service areas within Michigan, although the exact boundaries and details of those areas were noted as subject to change up until the formal funding opportunity announcement is published.
This grant is designed to support direct program operations and related activities under the Head Start umbrella, which generally includes early learning and development, family engagement, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, nutrition services, and other supports aimed at school readiness and child well-being. Depending on the award and service model, applicants may propose Head Start (typically preschool-age children) and/or Early Head Start (infants, toddlers, and pregnant people) services, aligned with community needs and eligibility rules for children and families.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city/township), 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/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This broad eligibility reflects the program goal of selecting the organization best positioned to operate high-quality services in the designated areas, regardless of sector, as long as the applicant can meet federal program standards and demonstrate capacity.
Key administrative details listed for the opportunity include the funding opportunity title "Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee -- Communities in the state of Michigan" and the funding opportunity number "HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1873." The CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 93.600, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are competitively made based on application review rather than by formula.
The posting indicates an expected total of 4 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $10,558,989 (typically interpreted as the maximum amount that could be awarded under the terms described, though actual award amounts can vary by service area and final program design). The opportunity record shows a creation date of Oct 28, 2020, and an original closing date of Jan 05, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Because the service areas were described as "subject to change" prior to publication of the full announcement, interested applicants were directed to request additional information by emailing the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org. This contact channel is intended to help prospective applicants confirm service area definitions, competition details, and any other operational questions tied to the announcement before investing heavily in application development.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1873
