Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R06 1743
The Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership Grants opportunity for Bernalillo and Rio Arriba Counties, New Mexico is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS). The intent is to expand access to high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services for low-income infants and toddlers (generally birth to age three) and their families. Funding can support either (1) Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships, which align Early Head Start standards with child care settings to raise quality and increase available slots, or (2) direct expansion of Early Head Start services, increasing the number of children and families served through Early Head Start programming.
Approximately $1,494,075 was made available under this competition, with an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) up to the full award ceiling of $1,494,075. In practical terms, this suggests ACF anticipated selecting one applicant to operate and oversee the expansion effort for the targeted service area, rather than making multiple smaller awards. The funding is issued as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) and falls under the Income Security and Social Services category, with assistance listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start).
Eligibility is broad, consistent with Section 645A of the Head Start Act, and includes a wide range of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those categories); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other qualified entities that meet Head Start Act requirements. This structure allows communities to propose models led by government agencies, established Head Start providers, community-based nonprofits (including faith-based organizations), or qualified for-profit child care operators, as long as they can meet the program and accountability expectations tied to Early Head Start.
The focus of the funded work is on expanding the supply of high-quality infant and toddler services while maintaining the comprehensive nature of Early Head Start. That typically means not only increasing slots, but also ensuring families receive coordinated supports that are central to Early Head Start, such as family engagement, developmental screening and supports, health-related coordination, and services designed to strengthen parenting and child development outcomes. For EHS-CC Partnerships in particular, the approach generally involves partnering with child care providers to deliver Early Head Start-level quality within community child care settings, which can improve care quality while also leveraging existing child care capacity.
