Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R03 1889
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), is offering a discretionary grant competition to select organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs for eligible children and families in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The purpose of this opportunity is to fund local providers that can deliver comprehensive early childhood services, which typically include early learning, health and developmental screenings, family support, and services that promote school readiness for children from low-income households. The funding is intended to support program operations in specific service areas, and in this case OHS indicates that funding may be available in two individually defined service areas within Virginia. Those service areas may change before the official funding opportunity announcement is published, so applicants should treat the geographic scope as potentially adjustable until the final notice is released.
A wide range of applicant types are allowed to compete, reflecting the program's reliance on local capacity and community partnerships. 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 colleges and universities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and 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. OHS specifically notes that both community-based and faith-based organizations are encouraged within the broader eligible universe, and that for-profit entities may also apply, as long as they are prepared to meet Head Start program requirements and performance standards.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2021-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-1889 and is associated with CFDA 93.600, which corresponds to the Head Start program. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, aligning with Head Start's role as a federal-to-local service delivery program for children and families. The notice indicates an anticipated total of three awards. The award ceiling is listed as $3,688,504, which represents the maximum amount that could be awarded for an individual award under this competition, depending on the final structure of the service areas and award decisions described in the formal announcement.
Key dates included with the listing show a creation date of October 28, 2020, with an original application closing date of January 5, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, underscoring that late submissions would not be accepted under the standard federal deadline rules. Because service areas were described as subject to change until publication of the official funding opportunity announcement, prospective applicants were directed to seek clarification or updated details directly from the OHS Operations Center. Questions or requests for additional information could be sent by email to OHSTech@reviewops.org, which is the contact point provided for operational or competition-related inquiries.
Overall, this grant competition is designed to identify capable organizations to serve as the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee in designated Virginia communities, with the expectation that the selected recipients will deliver full program services in compliance with federal Head Start standards, manage grant funds responsibly, and build or maintain strong community partnerships to meet the needs of eligible children and families.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R03 1889
