Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) - East Chicago, Indiana funding opportunity (HRSA-13-263) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the federal Health Center Program authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). The purpose is to expand and sustain access to comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities by awarding operational support to an organization that will serve a specifically announced service area, in this case East Chicago, Indiana. The broader Health Center Program supports community-based, patient-directed nonprofit and public entities that provide care to medically underserved and vulnerable populations, with an emphasis on delivering services that are comprehensive, high-quality, and culturally competent.
This FOA is designed for organizations seeking to operate as a Section 330-funded health center within the announced area, and it can support one or more of the core Health Center Program types depending on the proposed project and community needs: Community Health Center (CHC, Section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC, Section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, Section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, Section 330(i)). In practical terms, applicants are expected to propose an approach that ensures access to primary care services for populations that historically face barriers such as lack of insurance, limited provider availability, poverty, language and cultural barriers, or unstable housing. HRSA emphasizes that health centers are a key part of the national safety net, collectively operating thousands of sites nationwide and serving tens of millions of patients, which frames this competition as part of a larger effort to target resources toward high-need geographies and groups.
The opportunity anticipated making one award for this service area. The published maximum annual award amount (award ceiling) was $783,114, with no stated minimum award (award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the program is tied to CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care), which is the federal catalog entry associated with Section 330 health center funding.
Eligible applicants included a wide range of public and nonprofit entities that can operate community-based primary care programs. The eligibility list included county governments; city or township governments; state governments; special district governments; independent school districts; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized, as specified); and other entities as clarified in the full announcement. HRSA also noted that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements in the FOA, and applications that fail to demonstrate compliance would be considered non-responsive and would not be reviewed for funding. The partial text provided indicates that the FOA contains specific, mandatory eligibility conditions beyond simply fitting an entity type, so successful applicants would need to clearly document how they meet each requirement.
Key dates for this competition were a posted date of December 4, 2012, with an application closing date of January 7, 2013 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The announcement was later archived on March 8, 2013. Applicants needing access help were directed to the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and the full FOA was made available through HRSA's grants portal link included in the notice.
