Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R04 1891
The Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for communities in Tennessee is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). The purpose of the funding is to select organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs for eligible children and families in designated service areas within Tennessee. These programs are designed to deliver comprehensive early childhood services, which typically include early learning and school readiness supports, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement services, and connections to community resources that strengthen family stability.
This opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2021-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-1891, and it falls under the federal assistance listing CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600. The activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's focus on improving outcomes for low-income children and their families through a coordinated set of education, health, nutrition, mental health, and family support services. Awards are made as grants (Funding Instrument Type: Grant), meaning selected applicants receive federal financial assistance to carry out program operations in accordance with Head Start Act requirements and related federal regulations and performance standards.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. 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 Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without IRS 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions when applying under the nonprofit category); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The competition is open to both public and private entities, and it explicitly includes community-based and faith-based organizations, reflecting the program's intent to fund qualified providers with the capacity to deliver Head Start and Early Head Start services at scale and in compliance with federal standards.
Funding is tied to specific, individually defined service areas within Tennessee. The notice indicates that these service areas could change prior to publication of the final Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), so applicants are expected to confirm the final geographic scope and service area details when the FOA is released. The anticipated scale of funding is significant: the award ceiling is listed as $15,794,287, and the agency expected to make approximately four awards. In practice, actual award sizes depend on the service area, funded enrollment levels, the mix of Head Start versus Early Head Start services, and the proposed approach for meeting community needs while adhering to Head Start Program Performance Standards.
Key administrative details include an original posting/creation date of October 28, 2020, with an original application due date of January 5, 2021. The submission requirement specifies that electronic applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the application due date.
