Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R4 0105
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), is planning to award competitive grant funding to organizations that will operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs in specific communities across the state of Florida. This opportunity is designed to support comprehensive early childhood services for eligible infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, and their families within defined local service areas. The announcement is presented as a forecast, meaning some details may shift before the official Notice of Funding Opportunity is posted, and the forecast has already been updated to revise the estimated posting and application due dates.
The grant is a discretionary award (not a formula entitlement) and will be issued as a grant under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 93.600, which covers Head Start. The program focus aligns with the federal “Income Security and Social Services” activity category, reflecting Head Start and Early Head Start’s role in strengthening school readiness and family well-being through education, health, and family support services. Funding is not limited to a single Florida location; instead, it is tied to multiple communities with clearly defined service areas. OHS notes that the number of service areas listed in the forecast are projections and may be updated before the funding notice goes live, so applicants are expected to monitor the official materials for the final service area list and funding amounts.
Eligibility is broad and includes a mix of public and private entities that can demonstrate the capacity to run high-quality early childhood programs at scale. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities); faith-based and community-based organizations; and for-profit entities (including small businesses and other for-profit organizations). This wide eligibility range is intended to encourage competition and allow communities to be served by the organizations best positioned to meet Head Start Program Performance Standards and local needs.
The total anticipated funding ceiling listed for the opportunity is $21,898,960, with an estimated 7 awards expected. Actual award sizes and the number of awards will depend on the final set of service areas posted and the funding levels assigned to each service area. In practical terms, applicants should treat the posted ceiling and expected awards as planning figures rather than guarantees, because OHS can adjust service areas, funding amounts, or the number of awards prior to final publication.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2024-ACF-OHS-CH-R4-0105 and an original closing date of December 14, 2023, with the standard instruction that electronic applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the listed due date. Because the forecast explicitly states that estimated dates have been updated, applicants should rely on the final Notice of Funding Opportunity for the controlling deadline, submission instructions, and any additional requirements. The opportunity was created on October 12, 2023, and will be administered by ACF OHS within HHS.
For applicants trying to determine whether their organization should pursue this funding, the most important next step is to consult the “Link to Additional Information” referenced in the forecast, which is where OHS posts the detailed list of Florida service areas and the corresponding funding levels. Since those service areas can change prior to the official posting, checking for updates is essential for aligning a proposal with the correct geography, target population, and budget. Questions can also be directed to the OHS Operations Center at OHSgrants@koniag-gs.com, which is identified as the point of contact for additional information related to the competition.Apply for HHS 2024 ACF OHS CH R4 0105
