Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) opportunity for Baltimore, Maryland is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant designed to expand or establish Health Center Program services in an announced service area with demonstrated need. The core purpose is to strengthen access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care for underserved and vulnerable populations. This competition sits within HRSA's broader Health Center Program, which funds community-based, patient-directed organizations that operate thousands of care sites nationwide and collectively serve tens of millions of patients, including many who are uninsured or medically underserved. In practical terms, this FOA is about awarding operational support so an eligible organization can deliver full-scope health center services to people in the specified Baltimore service area.
The FOA invites applications under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and covers multiple health center types, depending on the service area and applicant proposal. Applicants may propose to operate as a Community Health Center (CHC, section 330(e)), a Migrant Health Center (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). HRSA uses the term "health center" broadly here to include any of these section 330-funded models. The competition outlines required eligibility standards, how applications will be reviewed, and the factors HRSA will consider in making an award, with the intent that the funded organization will provide patient-centered primary care that is appropriate to the community and accessible to populations facing barriers to care.
Funding details in the posted listing indicate one expected award for this Baltimore SAC AA service area, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,630,633. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). Notably, the listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a formal match as a condition of the award. The posting dates show it was released July 14, 2014, created in the system August 11, 2014, and had an application deadline of August 13, 2014, with an archive date of October 12, 2014. While those dates indicate this specific competition is historical and closed, the summary still reflects how SAC AA competitions are structured and what HRSA typically seeks in these applications.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities, as long as they meet the FOA's specific eligibility requirements (referenced as being on pages 4 and 5 of the FOA). Eligible applicant categories listed include state governments, county and city/township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions). The "Others (see text field)" note suggests HRSA may allow additional entity types depending on the FOA's clarifications, but applicants still have to satisfy section 330-related requirements and the specific conditions HRSA set for this service area competition.
