Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Areas (SAC AA) funding opportunity (HRSA-15-134) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to expand and sustain access to comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities. It focuses on supporting health centers that deliver culturally competent, high-quality, community-based care to medically underserved and vulnerable populations. The SAC AA structure is meant to fund operational support for specific, HRSA-announced service areas, and in this particular announcement those areas are Fort Bragg, California; Torrance, California; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
At its core, the opportunity sits within the federal Health Center Program authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. Applicants can propose to operate as one or more health center types recognized under the program, depending on the needs and eligibility of the announced service area: Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). The announcement uses the term "health center" broadly to include any of these models (or combinations) supported under section 330. The overall purpose is to ensure that people who often face barriers like low income, lack of insurance, unstable housing, or geographic isolation can access ongoing primary care and related services, rather than relying on episodic or emergency care.
The FOA emphasizes that HRSA-funded health centers are expected to be community-based and patient-directed, and it frames these awards as part of a national network with a large footprint. In the background information provided, HRSA notes that the Health Center Program supports about 1,300 health centers operating more than 9,000 service delivery sites nationwide and in U.S. territories, serving over 21 million patients in 2013. This context is used to justify the program's role in improving health outcomes for underserved populations and to position the SAC AA competition as a way to strategically target high-need communities and geographic areas with additional operational resources.
Funding details indicate HRSA anticipated making three awards under this announcement, aligning with the three identified service areas. The estimated total program funding listed is $3,399,546, with an award ceiling of $1,345,074 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The assistance listing tied to the opportunity is CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care), reflecting the consolidated nature of section 330 funding across these program types.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and nonprofit entities typically involved in safety-net care and community health. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) as well as certain tribal organizations. The FOA notes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements detailed on pages 4 through 6 of the full announcement, indicating that organizational type alone is not sufficient and that additional Health Center Program-specific requirements apply (for example, requirements tied to service area, governance, scope of services, and operational capacity are commonly part of section 330 competitions).
Key administrative details show this was posted November 12, 2014, with an application deadline of December 17, 2014, and an archive date of February 15, 2015. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health. For applicant support and questions, HRSA provided contact routes through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, including an email address (bphcsac@hrsa.gov) and a listed contact person, Beth Hartmayer, via the same channel.
