About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families funded Head Start expansion and early learning initiatives under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Assistance Listing 93.708, with the most recent grant award dated September 30, 2010.
This program is dormant. The funding history spans 2009–2010 only, with 2,035 total awards concentrated in a single surge: 1,852 awards in 2009 and 183 awards in 2010. No grant opportunities are currently posted, and no awards have been disbursed since September 30, 2010—over 16 years ago.
When active, the program funded Head Start and Early Head Start expansion, including service delivery expansion and early learning mentor coach networks. Awards supported comprehensive health, educational, nutritional, and social services for low-income children, with parent involvement in program administration and family support services. Representative awards included ARRA Early Head Start Expansion ($746,760), Region II Head Start Expansion ($716,080), and multiple Early Learning Mentor Coach initiatives ranging from roughly $144,000 to $3.2 million per award.
All 2,035 awards (100 percent) were Project Grants, funded entirely by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $983.9 million across the portfolio. Award magnitudes varied widely: the largest single award obligated $3.2 million, while mentor coach initiatives typically ranged from $185,000 to $225,000.
This program was a time-limited stimulus vehicle under the 2009 economic recovery act. No active solicitation exists, and the absence of awards after 2010 indicates the funding line is closed. Organizations should not pursue this listing.
