Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R05 1298
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - Peoria County, Illinois" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R05 1298), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to fund organizations that can operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Peoria County, Illinois. The overall purpose is to ensure comprehensive early childhood development and family support services are available locally through a qualified grantee or grantees.
The announcement makes available up to $6,076,042 per year to support program operations, with an award ceiling matching that annual amount. The opportunity anticipates making up to two awards, meaning ACF may select one or more applicants to serve the community depending on how proposals are structured and what best meets local needs. Funding falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and the program scope generally aligns with Head Start and Early Head Start models that emphasize school readiness, health and developmental screenings, nutrition, family engagement, and support services for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, as applicable to the services proposed.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to compete. This includes public entities such as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. It also includes education institutions (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (including community-based and faith-based organizations). For-profit organizations are also eligible, including small businesses and other for-profit entities that are not small businesses. This broad eligibility is designed to allow ACF to consider any capable organization with the infrastructure and community partnerships needed to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Peoria County.
The application timeline listed in the source information shows a creation date of February 8, 2018, with an original closing date of April 9, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For applicants needing clarification or technical assistance related to the opportunity, the notice directs inquiries to the Office of Head Start Operations Center via email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
In practical terms, applicants were being asked to propose how they would administer a local Head Start and/or Early Head Start program: how they would recruit and enroll eligible children, deliver required services, maintain compliance with federal Head Start Program Performance Standards, coordinate with local partners (such as health providers and social services), and support families through engagement and wraparound services. The funding level signals a substantial countywide service footprint, and the expectation of up to two awards indicates ACF was open to more than one provider if that approach best ensured coverage and quality for children and families across Peoria County.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OHS CH R05 1298
