Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is part of HRSA's long-running Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). The overall purpose is to expand and sustain access to comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities by providing operational support to health centers that deliver care in a culturally competent, patient-directed way, with a particular focus on medically underserved and vulnerable populations.
The specific competition is called the Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) for three named locations: Tuba City, Arizona; Hollis, Oklahoma; and Williamson, Tennessee. In practical terms, SAC AA funding is designed to ensure that a defined service area has a funded Health Center Program awardee responsible for delivering section 330 health center services in that area. The announcement lays out the eligibility rules, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations that want to become the section 330-funded provider for one of these announced service areas.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers), which covers the four core section 330 health center types. Applicants may propose to operate one or more of the following project types depending on the needs of the service area and what the FOA allows: 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)). The FOA uses the term "health center" broadly to include any of these section 330-supported models. The services supported are intended to be comprehensive primary care services delivered with attention to quality and cultural competence, targeted to underserved and uninsured patients and other vulnerable groups.
The scale of the broader program provides context for what HRSA expects from funded organizations. At the time described in the announcement, HRSA reported funding about 1,200 health centers operating nearly 9,000 service delivery sites across all states and multiple territories. In 2012, those sites served more than 21 million patients. The SAC AA opportunity sits within that larger strategy of targeting the "neediest populations and geographic areas" to improve access and health outcomes where barriers to care are greatest.
This particular FOA anticipated making three awards total, consistent with the three service areas listed. The estimated total funding amount across the opportunity was $2,161,160. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award (though normal budgeting, sustainability planning, and program expectations would still apply as specified in the full FOA). The posting date was May 27, 2014, and the application deadline (original and current) was June 25, 2014, with an archive date of August 24, 2014.
Eligibility was broad in terms of organizational types, reflecting the variety of entities that can operate safety-net primary care when they meet Health Center Program requirements. 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 governmental entities (including city/township, county, state, special district governments, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations). However, the FOA emphasized that applicants must meet all specific eligibility requirements described in the announcement itself (referenced as being on pages 4 and 5), which typically include programmatic and organizational requirements tied to section 330 health center operations.
For applicants and stakeholders, the main takeaway is that this SAC AA competition was a targeted HRSA Health Center Program funding opportunity to select qualified organizations to operate and provide ongoing primary care services in the designated additional service areas of Tuba City (AZ), Hollis (OK), and Williamson (TN). The funding supports the operational backbone needed to deliver comprehensive, culturally competent care to underserved residents, consistent with section 330 requirements and HRSA's expectations for access, quality, and accountability.
For help accessing the full announcement or resolving application issues, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV; 877-464-4772), which are the standard points of contact for FOA documentation and submission support.
