Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CM R12 1539
The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee opportunity is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). It is designed to fund organizations that can deliver Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services for eligible young children and their families who live in specific counties across Minnesota and North Dakota. The overall purpose is to ensure that children in migrant and seasonal farmworker families have access to high-quality early childhood education and comprehensive support services that address health, development, and family needs.
Funding under this announcement totals $9,259,441 per year, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount, and OHS expects to make up to three awards. Applicants are competing to become the MSHS grantee serving the defined service area, meaning the awardee(s) would operate Head Start-style programming tailored to the realities of migrant and seasonal work, including mobility, seasonal schedules, and barriers to consistent access to early learning and healthcare. While the notice does not spell out specific program models in the text provided, Migrant and Seasonal Head Start generally includes early childhood education, developmental screening, health and dental services coordination, nutrition support, family engagement, and referrals to community resources, delivered in ways that work for families who move or work long hours during harvest and planting seasons.
The eligible service area is explicitly limited to certain counties. In Minnesota, the covered counties are Grant, Ottertail, Traverse, Wilkin, Pope, Stearns, Le Sueur, Rice, Waseca, McLeod, Sibley, Carver, Wright, Marshall, Sherburne, Anoka, Hennepin, Steele, Dodge, Olmsted, Winona, Wabasha, Brown, Watonwan, Renville, Cottonwood, Clay, Redwood, Kandiyohi, Faribault, Martin, Swift, Todd, Lac qui Parle, Chippewa, Yellow Medicine, Nicollet, Meeker, Freeborn, Dakota, Fillmore, Pine, Goodhue, Ramsey, Benton, Blue Earth, and Morrison. In North Dakota, the counties are Walsh, Richland, Grand Forks, Traill, and Pembina. Applications are intended from organizations that can demonstrate the capacity to serve children and families residing in these counties, including the ability to coordinate services across a large multi-county footprint.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible, reflecting OHS interest in strong local operators regardless of organizational form. Eligible applicants include county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The opportunity also explicitly mentions local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies, as long as they are positioned within the community and can meet program requirements.
Key administrative details included in the posting are the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2019-ACF-OHS-CM-R12-1539 and CFDA 93.600, with the funding activity category listed as Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity was created on September 18, 2018, with an original closing date of November 19, 2018, and electronic submissions were required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For applicants seeking clarification or operational guidance connected to the application process, the notice directs inquiries to the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
In practical terms, this competition is for an organization (or organizations, given multiple expected awards) to take responsibility for delivering Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services across the specified counties, using the annual federal funding to staff, operate, and manage comprehensive early childhood and family support programming. Applicants would typically be expected to show readiness to meet Head Start program standards, build strong community partnerships (health providers, schools, social services, housing, and workforce supports), and tailor service delivery to seasonal and migratory patterns that affect enrollment stability, attendance, transportation, and continuity of care.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OHS CM R12 1539
