Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CM R12 1898
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and its Office of Head Start (OHS), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to operate Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services in Oregon. The purpose of the funding is to support organizations that can deliver comprehensive Head Start programming tailored to eligible migrant and seasonal farmworker children and their families, helping address early childhood education, health, family well-being, and related social services needs in communities where these families live and work.
This competition is open to a wide range of applicant types, reflecting Head Start's emphasis on community capacity and cross-sector partnerships. Eligible applicants include public entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled colleges and universities, and public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities). It also includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments. On the nonprofit side, both 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education) may apply, and private institutions of higher education are also eligible. Importantly, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses are listed as eligible as well, meaning applicants are not limited to traditional nonprofit Head Start operators as long as they can meet program requirements and deliver services effectively.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2021 ACF OHS CM R12 1898 and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 93.600, which is the long-standing federal listing for Head Start funding. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start's role as a federal anti-poverty and family support program that includes early learning as a central component.
Geographically, funding is expected to be available for one individually defined service area within Oregon, although the notice makes clear that service area boundaries may change up until the formal funding opportunity announcement is published. In practice, that means potential applicants should avoid assuming that any preliminary service area details are final and should monitor the official announcement once released for definitive coverage, target communities, and any county or regional delineations. For organizations trying to assess fit, this detail matters because Head Start grants are tied to specific service areas and enrollment expectations, and applicants typically need to demonstrate they can recruit and serve eligible children and families within those boundaries.
From a funding and competition standpoint, the notice lists an award ceiling of $51,920,719 and anticipates making 2 awards. While the ceiling represents the maximum potential amount associated with the opportunity, actual award sizes typically depend on the defined service area, funded enrollment levels, required services (including any transportation, extended-day/extended-year needs common in migrant programs), and federal budget decisions. With an expected two awards, the competitive landscape may be relatively concentrated, and applicants generally need to show strong operational readiness, compliance capacity, and an ability to provide high-quality services quickly.
The timeline information included in the source data shows the opportunity record creation date as October 28, 2020, with an original closing date of January 5, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Although those dates are historical for this particular listing, they illustrate the standard Head Start competition structure: a set submission deadline, electronic submission requirements, and strict cutoffs that applicants must plan around.
For organizations seeking clarification while preparing or evaluating an application, OHS provided a direct contact route: applicants may email the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org for additional information. This is particularly relevant given the note about potentially changing service areas, since applicants may need the most current guidance on geographic coverage, technical submission questions, or other competition logistics before investing significant time in a full proposal.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF OHS CM R12 1898
