Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1884
The Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for communities in Ohio is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). The purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs that provide comprehensive early childhood services to eligible children and their families. In practical terms, this funding supports early learning and school readiness efforts along with related family support services for low-income families, consistent with the Head Start and Early Head Start program model.
This competition is open to a wide range of applicant types. Eligible applicants include public entities such as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. It also includes tribal governments that are federally recognized. On the nonprofit side, both 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category) may apply, including community-based and faith-based organizations as specifically noted in the description. Institutions of higher education, both public/state-controlled and private, are eligible as well. The opportunity also allows for-profit entities, including small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), to compete, which is notable because many federal social service grants restrict eligibility to governmental and nonprofit applicants.
The funded work falls under the federal activity area of Income Security and Social Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.600. While the summary does not list the exact counties or communities, it indicates that funding may be available in two individually defined service areas within Ohio. Those service areas were described as subject to change up until the formal funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is published, meaning applicants needed to rely on the final FOA for definitive geographic boundaries, funded slot numbers, and program expectations tied to each service area.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $6,261,446 and anticipates making about three awards. The ceiling represents the maximum amount expected for an award under this announcement, though actual award sizes typically vary depending on the service area scope, number of children served, and the approved operating budget. The funding instrument is a grant, reflecting that recipients are expected to carry out an approved program plan and comply with Head Start program requirements and federal grants management rules.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee -- Communities in the state of Ohio" and the funding opportunity number HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1884. The opportunity record shows a creation date of 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 standard federal submission deadline structure where late submissions are generally not accepted except under limited circumstances described in the FOA.
For organizations looking for updates or clarification while preparing to apply (especially given the note about service areas potentially changing before publication), OHS provided a point of contact through the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org. This email contact is positioned as the channel for additional information related to the competition, which can be helpful for questions about the application process, technical issues, or confirming details once the FOA is released.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to identify qualified providers that can run Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in specific Ohio communities, with substantial federal support and a competitive selection process across public, nonprofit, educational, tribal, and for-profit applicant types.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1884
