-- Important Announcement about Use of the Federal Register --
NOTICE: Beginning with FY 2006, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) no longer publishes grant announcements in the Federal Register. Applicants may now find synopses of all ACF grant opportunities posted on www.grants.gov, where applicants may also apply electronically. Applicants may also find the complete text of all ACF grant announcements on the ACF web site located at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/index.html.
Grants for the operation of Head Start and Early Head Start programs may be awarded to either public or private, for profit or nonprofit organizations, or public school systems. If there is a current program in a community, that grantee will continue to serve in that capacity until they decide they no longer want to be a sponsoring agency, or unless Head Start funds going to the agency are terminated for cause. If a grantee gives up or loses funding, Head Start funds will remain in the community previously served by that agency and will be awarded to another eligible organization through a competitive process.
In years when additional funds are available for expanding Head Start and Early Head Start services, these funds may go to existing agencies to increase their enrollment of children. Otherwise, these funds will be awarded to new grantees through a competitive process, particularly in a geographic area that requires more service to meet the needs of the population.
For complete information on Head Start funding opportunities, visit the Office of Head Start website.
