Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) opportunity (HRSA-15-120) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant competition under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224). Its purpose is to expand access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in specifically announced service areas where medically underserved and vulnerable populations need more reliable health care capacity. In this particular announcement, HRSA is seeking applicants to provide operational support for new or expanded health center services in Hollis, Oklahoma and Oakland, California. The funding is designed to strengthen community-based, patient-directed care models that reduce barriers to care for people who are uninsured, underinsured, low-income, or otherwise medically underserved.
At a program level, SAC AA awards support the ongoing operation of section 330 health centers authorized under the Public Health Service Act. Applicants can propose to operate as one or more Health Center Program types depending on the needs of the service area and what HRSA has announced: 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)). While these models serve different priority populations, they share the same core expectation: deliver primary care that is accessible, comprehensive, coordinated, and responsive to the culture and circumstances of the community. HRSA frames these awards as part of the broader Health Center Program footprint, which at the time supported roughly 1,300 health centers operating over 9,000 sites nationwide and serving more than 21 million patients (2013 data), highlighting the role health centers play in improving population health in underserved areas.
The competition anticipates making two awards total, aligned to the two announced service areas. HRSA lists an estimated total funding amount of $4,185,599 for the opportunity. The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though applicants typically still need a realistic, sustainable operating plan and diverse revenue strategy consistent with health center operations). Award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the summary fields, which generally signals that the specific funding amounts are determined in the full FOA and the service-area-specific guidance rather than in the high-level listing.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit entities, reflecting the range of organizations that can successfully operate community health centers. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments (federally recognized), and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). HRSA notes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described in the FOA (pages 4 to 6), which is where the detailed Health Center Program compliance expectations, governance requirements, and service area requirements are typically spelled out.
Operationally, the grant is meant to support the delivery of comprehensive primary health care services at one or more service delivery sites in the announced areas. Although the short listing does not enumerate required services, Health Center Program awards are commonly associated with expectations around providing access to primary medical care and enabling services, maintaining quality improvement and performance measurement systems, offering services in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner, and ensuring governance and patient/community input consistent with health center rules. The FOA also states that it includes the specific eligibility rules, review criteria, and awarding factors, meaning applicants are evaluated not only on need and proposed impact in Hollis and Oakland, but also on their organizational capacity to meet federal health center requirements and sustain operations.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of September 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 8, 2014, and an archive date of November 2, 2014. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. For applicant support or trouble accessing the full announcement, HRSA directs inquiries to the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and provides an email contact at bphcsac@hrsa.gov, along with a phone contact associated with Beth Hartmayer via the same email channel.
