Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R10 1761
The Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R10 1761) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start. It is focused on increasing access to high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services for low-income infants and toddlers and their families in Union, Umatilla, Morrow, Wallowa, and Gilliam Counties in Oregon. The core aim is to either expand Early Head Start (EHS) services directly or build and strengthen Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships that blend the standards and family supports of Early Head Start with the reach of local child care providers.
ACF made approximately $830,813 available under this announcement, with an expected number of one award. The award ceiling is listed as $830,813, which signals that the competition is likely intended to fund a single grantee to serve the targeted multi-county service area. The funding falls under the Income Security and Social Services category and is associated with CFDA 93.600, which is the long-standing federal assistance listing tied to Head Start programs. In practical terms, the grant is intended to support program growth for infant and toddler slots and the full wraparound model that Early Head Start is known for, including child development services and strong family engagement supports, rather than funding a narrow or stand-alone child care effort.
The opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types, reflecting the way Early Head Start is delivered through diverse local organizations. Eligible applicants include public entities such as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities. It also includes Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, as well as private organizations such as nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions), private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Even with this broad eligibility list, applicants must still meet the specific eligibility requirements referenced in section 645A of the Head Start Act, which governs Early Head Start and sets the legal parameters for who may apply and what program commitments are required.
Applicants are expected to propose approaches that expand the supply of high-quality infant and toddler care in the designated Oregon counties. This can be done by expanding an Early Head Start program directly (adding capacity and services) or by forming EHS-Child Care Partnerships, which typically involve formal agreements between an Early Head Start grantee and child care providers to deliver full-day, full-year services that meet Early Head Start Program Performance Standards. In either pathway, the emphasis is on comprehensive quality and outcomes for children and families, not just increasing the number of child care openings. The target population is explicitly low-income infants and toddlers and their families, aligning with Early Head Start's role as a two-generation support model that combines early learning, health and developmental supports, and family services.
The notice lists a creation date of September 12, 2019, and an original closing date of November 12, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For applicants needing clarification or additional information specific to EHS-CC Partnerships, the announcement provides a direct contact email, EHS.CCPartnerships@acf.hhs.gov. It also directs prospective applicants to ACF's "How to Apply for Grants" guidance (https://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/howto#chapter-4), which walks organizations through registration steps for Grants.gov, the mechanics of submitting an application, and what to expect during the federal review process.
Overall, this funding opportunity is designed to concentrate a single, substantial award into a defined rural and mixed-service region of Oregon to increase access to early childhood services for infants and toddlers who face economic barriers. It supports either the direct growth of Early Head Start or a partnership strategy that leverages existing child care infrastructure while raising service quality to Early Head Start standards, with the broader goal of delivering consistent, comprehensive supports to very young children and their families across the five-county area.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HP R10 1761
