Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) grant for Brooklyn, NY (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-122) is a discretionary HRSA grant opportunity designed to expand or establish operational support for a Health Center Program-funded service area that HRSA has specifically announced as needing coverage. The larger purpose behind this opportunity is to strengthen access to comprehensive primary health care for medically underserved communities and vulnerable populations by supporting community-based, patient-directed organizations that deliver culturally competent, high-quality care. This competition sits within HRSA's long-running Health Center Program, which funds roughly 1,300 health centers operating more than 9,000 service sites across every state and multiple U.S. territories, and which served over 21 million patients in 2013, including many uninsured and otherwise medically underserved people.
At its core, SAC AA is about ensuring that a defined geographic or community service area is not left without Health Center Program-supported access points. Applicants compete to become the awardee for the announced Brooklyn service area and, if funded, would receive operational grant support to provide required primary care services consistent with federal health center expectations. The FOA allows applicants to propose one or more of the recognized section 330 health center types, depending on the needs of the area and the applicant's proposed model: Community Health Center (CHC, section 330(e)), 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)). In practical terms, that means an applicant may seek to serve the general medically underserved population, migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, people experiencing homelessness, residents of public housing, or a combination, as long as the proposal matches the announced service area requirements and meets program rules under the Public Health Service Act.
Funding for this specific Brooklyn competition was expected to result in a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount was $650,000, with an award ceiling of $650,000 (and an award floor listed as 1). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes this type of federal operational support more accessible to safety-net organizations that may not have large pools of unrestricted funds. The assistance listing tied to this opportunity is CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers, which is the standard federal program entry used for the Community Health Center and related section 330 funding streams.
Eligibility was broad across multiple types of entities, reflecting the Health Center Program's emphasis on community-based delivery systems and public-private partnerships. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including city/township, county, special district, and state governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The FOA noted that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described on pages 4 to 6 of the announcement, meaning that beyond organizational type, there were specific Health Center Program conditions and qualifications that had to be satisfied to be considered eligible and competitive.
From an applicant's perspective, the FOA served as the roadmap for what HRSA expected in the application: it laid out SAC AA eligibility rules, the review criteria used to score applications, and awarding factors HRSA would weigh when selecting the single awardee for Brooklyn. While the summary text does not list each criterion, SAC AA competitions generally focus on an applicant's ability to provide comprehensive primary care services, reach the intended underserved populations in the announced service area, deliver culturally competent and accessible care, maintain appropriate governance and operational capacity consistent with health center requirements, and demonstrate sound financial and administrative management to operate the proposed service delivery site(s) sustainably.
Key logistics for this specific funding round were as follows: the opportunity was posted and created on September 9, 2014; the application closing date was October 8, 2014 (original and current closing dates matched); and the opportunity was archived on November 30, 2014. The sponsoring agency was the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). For support or questions, HRSA listed its Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland and provided the email address bphcsac@hrsa.gov, along with a contact person, Beth Hartmayer, at (301) 594-43 Ext. 00 (as written in the source text) and the same email for correspondence.
Overall, this SAC AA Brooklyn opportunity was a targeted, single-award competition to ensure that a specific underserved area in Brooklyn had federally supported health center operations capable of delivering comprehensive, culturally competent primary health care under the section 330 Health Center Program framework, without requiring non-federal matching funds and with eligibility open to a wide range of nonprofit, government, academic, housing authority, and tribal entities that could meet HRSA's detailed program requirements.
