Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R04 1699
The Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership Grants opportunity for the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee is a federal discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). The program is designed to increase the supply of high-quality, comprehensive Early Head Start services for low-income infants and toddlers and to strengthen support for their families. In practical terms, applicants can propose either to expand Early Head Start slots directly or to build and operate Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships that link Early Head Start standards and services with existing child care providers, with the goal of improving quality and expanding access where it is needed most in Chattanooga.
The total funding available is approximately $2,226,367, with ACF expecting to make one award under this announcement. The award ceiling is also listed as $2,226,367, signaling that the competition is likely structured to fund a single grantee up to that amount to carry out the proposed expansion or partnership approach. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity area is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), which is the primary federal assistance program umbrella for Head Start and Early Head Start funding.
Eligibility is broad and includes a mix of public, nonprofit, and for-profit entities, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements referenced in section 645A of the Head Start Act (the statutory section that addresses Early Head Start and partnership approaches). 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 tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This broad eligibility is intended to allow the strongest local providers and systems leaders in the Chattanooga area to compete, whether they are established early childhood organizations, public entities, higher education institutions, or child care operators capable of meeting program standards.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was created on September 12, 2019, with an original application deadline of November 12, 2019. For applicants needing help navigating the federal application process, OHS pointed applicants to ACFs step-by-step grant application guidance (including registration, submission, and review process information) at https://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/howto#chapter-4. ACF also provided an email point of contact for additional information related to the Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships element: EHS.CCPartnerships@acf.hhs.gov.
At its core, this opportunity is about scaling access to Early Head Start-level quality for the youngest children in low-income households, either by directly expanding Early Head Start services or by partnering with child care providers to deliver Early Head Start comprehensive services in settings families already use. That comprehensive model typically includes not only early learning and development supports, but also family engagement and connections to health, developmental screening, and other family support services, with an emphasis on meeting high program standards for quality and accountability.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R04 1699
