About this grant
This forecast has been modified to update the Estimated Total Funding and the states where a funding opportunity is available. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS), announces a competitive notice of funding opportunity to provide high-quality, comprehensive services to pregnant women, low-income infants and toddlers and their families through the expansion of Early Head Start services or through Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnerships. This funding opportunity advances ACF's mission to promote the economic and social well-being of children, families, and communities, and reflects OHS's commitment to expanding access to high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services that strengthen family stability and community prosperity. Approximately $9.6 million in federal funding will be awarded in multiple communities in AR, GA, and NC. These service areas are subject to change until a Notice of Funding Opportunity is published.
