Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) FY 2015 funding opportunity titled "Addressing HIV Care and Housing Coordination through Data Integration to Improve Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum" is designed to fund one organization to act as a national Coordination and Technical Assistance Center (CTAC). The central purpose is to improve HIV health outcomes by strengthening coordination between housing services and HIV clinical care through the electronic integration of data systems. The opportunity is grounded in the well-established idea that stable housing is closely tied to better HIV care engagement and outcomes, and it places particular emphasis on supporting racial and ethnic minority people living with HIV who are unstably housed or experiencing homelessness.
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA expects an ongoing, collaborative role rather than a hands-off grant. HRSA anticipated making a single award, with support available for up to three years, and an estimated total funding amount of $1.2 million across the project period. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The application window opened May 21, 2015, and closed July 20, 2015, with the opportunity later archived on September 18, 2015.
The CTAC is expected to provide hands-on technical assistance and capacity building to at least four performance sites. These sites are meant to be real-world implementation partners where housing and HIV care data systems can be integrated and used to coordinate services more effectively. A key feature of the CTAC role is that it does not only advise; it also selects and funds the performance sites through subawards. In other words, the funded CTAC becomes the hub for building the initiative, distributing resources to sites, and helping them implement the technical work needed for electronic data integration.
On the implementation side, the CTAC is tasked with guiding performance sites through the design and rollout of integrated data systems that connect housing-related data with HIV care information. The intent is to make it easier for providers and service systems to identify housing needs, coordinate referrals, reduce duplication, and ensure that people living with HIV receive consistent support across both healthcare and housing programs. The opportunity references the HIV Care Continuum framework and HUD HMIS data standards, signaling that data integration is expected to align with established national approaches to HIV prevention and care measurement as well as homelessness and housing data practices.
Evaluation is another major pillar of the grant. The CTAC must evaluate each integrated system and assess how it influences clinical practice and service coordination, including practical factors such as provider acceptance and utilization. The evaluation focus is not limited to whether a system exists, but whether it is actually used, whether it improves coordination between housing and HIV care services, and whether it contributes to improved outcomes along the HIV care continuum. Performance sites are expected to fully collaborate with the CTAC in the evaluation process, including collecting and sharing relevant measures related to housing services and HIV service delivery so the impact of improved coordination can be assessed in a credible, measurable way.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and nonprofit private organizations. Examples explicitly noted include health departments, state and local governments, tribal governments, community health centers, hospitals and medical centers, community-based organizations, and colleges and universities. The listing is associated with CFDA 93.145 (AIDS Education and Training Centers), reinforcing the technical assistance and capacity-building nature of the work. For additional information or access issues, the announcement provided a point of contact at HRSA: Adan Cajina (ACajina@hrsa.gov, 301-443-3180).

What type of award mechanism is used (grant vs. cooperative agreement)?
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA expects an ongoing, collaborative role in the work rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
How many awards were expected to be made?
HRSA anticipated making a single award.
How much funding was expected to be available?
The estimated total funding amount was $1.2 million across the project period.
How long could the project be supported?

Is the opportunity still active?
No. The opportunity was later archived on September 18, 2015.
How many performance sites was the CTAC expected to support?
The CTAC was expected to provide hands-on technical assistance and capacity building to at least four performance sites.
What are "performance sites" in this initiative?
Performance sites are real-world implementation partners where housing and HIV care data systems can be integrated and used to coordinate services more effectively. These sites collaborate with the CTAC on implementation and evaluation activities.
Does the CTAC only provide advice, or does it also provide funding to sites?
The CTAC does more than advise. It selects and funds the performance sites through subawards, acting as the central hub for distributing resources and supporting implementation.
What does "data integration" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Data integration refers to electronically connecting housing-related data with HIV care information so providers and service systems can better identify housing needs, coordinate referrals, reduce duplication, and support consistent care across healthcare and housing programs.
What kinds of improvements is the integrated data approach intended to support?
The integrated approach is intended to make it easier to coordinate services between housing and HIV clinical care, reduce duplication, improve referral and follow-up, and support improved outcomes along the HIV care continuum.
Is there a particular population emphasis in this opportunity?
Yes. The opportunity places particular emphasis on supporting racial and ethnic minority people living with HIV who are unstably housed or experiencing homelessness.
What national frameworks or standards are referenced for this work?
The opportunity references the HIV Care Continuum framework and HUD HMIS data standards, signaling that data integration efforts are expected to align with established national approaches to HIV care measurement and homelessness/housing data practices.
What role does evaluation play in this program?
Evaluation is a major pillar of the grant. The CTAC must evaluate each integrated system and assess how it influences clinical practice and service coordination, including whether providers accept and use the system and whether coordination improves across housing and HIV care services.
What is the evaluation expected to measure beyond building a system?
The focus is not only on whether an integrated system exists, but whether it is actually used, whether it improves coordination between housing and HIV care services, and whether it contributes to improved outcomes along the HIV care continuum.
What is expected of performance sites related to evaluation?
Performance sites are expected to fully collaborate with the CTAC in evaluation activities, including collecting and sharing relevant measures related to housing services and HIV service delivery so the impact of improved coordination can be assessed in a credible, measurable way.
