Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (HRSA-12-100) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Special Project of National Significance (SPNS) initiative focused on improving HIV care outcomes for people who are homeless or unstably housed and who also face multiple, co-occurring health challenges. The core purpose is to fund demonstration sites that will design, implement, and evaluate new or improved service models that help HIV-positive homeless populations enter care sooner, stay engaged, and remain retained in ongoing HIV medical care and related supportive services. In practical terms, the initiative is centered on building a "medical home" approach that does not treat HIV in isolation, but instead coordinates care across the major issues that often drive poor outcomes in this population, especially untreated mental health conditions and substance use disorders.
The program is structured as a multi-site demonstration, meaning HRSA intends to fund several organizations to operate in different locations and test innovative approaches in real-world settings. Funded organizations are expected to create models of care that actively connect people who are homeless or unstably housed to HIV/AIDS primary care while also establishing and maintaining durable linkages to behavioral health and substance use treatment. The emphasis on "sustainable linkages" signals that applicants should propose partnerships, referral pathways, co-located services, care coordination systems, or other integration strategies that can realistically be maintained beyond the grant period, rather than short-term or informal relationships that are likely to fade when funding ends.
The award is a discretionary grant (not a loan or contract) under CFDA 93.928, Special Projects of National Significance. HRSA estimated total funding at $2.4 million, with an award ceiling of $300,000 per award, and anticipated making about eight awards. The initiative allows support for up to five years, indicating HRSA wanted applicants to think beyond a pilot and plan for multi-year implementation, refinement, and evaluation. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for community-based organizations and safety-net providers to apply and participate.
Eligibility is broad but tied to the Ryan White HIV Program ecosystem. Eligible demonstration site applicants include public and nonprofit entities that are eligible for funding under Ryan White Parts A, B, C, and D. Examples specifically mentioned include state and local governments, academic institutions, local health departments, community health centers funded under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, federally qualified health centers as defined under Medicaid statute, faith-based and community-based organizations, and Indian Tribes or tribal organizations with or without federal recognition. In the standard eligibility list, HRSA also includes 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), private and public institutions of higher education, city/township/county and special district governments, state governments, and tribal governments and organizations. Taken together, the announcement is clearly aimed at the types of organizations already delivering HIV care or closely connected to HIV service networks, but it allows a wide range of community and governmental partners to lead if they can operate an effective medical home model for this population.
A key feature of the SPNS approach is the expectation of evaluation. While each demonstration site is expected to implement and assess its intervention, HRSA also planned separate funding for an evaluation and technical assistance center under a different announcement (HRSA-12-104). That separate center would coordinate the initiative across sites, likely supporting common evaluation measures, shared learning, technical assistance, and cross-site dissemination of lessons learned. For applicants, this typically implies they would need to participate in cross-site evaluation activities, data reporting, and collaborative learning efforts, even though the central coordinating entity would be funded separately.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted March 7, 2012, with an original and final closing date of May 7, 2012, and it was archived July 6, 2012. HRSA provided an online link for the full announcement and directed applicants who had trouble accessing it to contact the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) or email CallCenter@HRSA.GOV. Overall, the grant was designed to help communities build integrated, patient-centered systems of HIV care for homeless and unstably housed individuals, with strong attention to behavioral health and substance use treatment connections, and with an explicit goal of improving timely entry into care, ongoing engagement, and long-term retention.
