Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Service Area Competition - Additional Areas (SAC AA), is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant program designed to expand or establish Health Center Program-supported services in specific newly announced service areas: Green Valley, Arizona; Wichita, Kansas; Franklin, New Hampshire; Washington, North Carolina; and Cheyenne, Wyoming. The main purpose is to strengthen access to comprehensive, high-quality primary health care for underserved communities and medically vulnerable populations by funding organizations that can operate as, or expand as, federally supported health centers in these locations.
The funding sits under the HRSA Health Center Program authority in section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and supports several possible health center models depending on the needs of the service area and the applicant's proposed approach. Applicants may seek operational support as a Community Health Center (CHC, section 330(e)), a 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 plain terms, the competition is about selecting organizations that can provide patient-directed, community-based primary care and related services in one of the listed areas, using the Health Center Program framework that emphasizes comprehensive care, cultural competence, and service to people who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise face barriers to care.
HRSA frames the opportunity within the broader national impact of the Health Center Program, noting that the program funds roughly 1,300 health centers operating more than 9,000 service delivery sites across every state and multiple US territories. The announcement highlights that in 2013 the program served more than 21 million patients, with a strong focus on medically underserved and uninsured populations. This context is used to justify why SAC AA matters: it is one of the mechanisms HRSA uses to direct resources into high-need geographic areas and to ensure continuity and availability of safety-net primary care services.
From a funding and competition standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-139 and is associated with CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). HRSA expected to make 5 awards in total, essentially corresponding to the five listed service areas, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,253,699. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically indicates that the specific per-award ranges are described in the full FOA or depend on the proposed scope and HRSA determinations rather than being presented as fixed caps in the summary record.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities that could operate community-based primary care services, including state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations; and public/Indian housing authorities. Eligibility is not automatic based on organizational type alone; applicants must meet all eligibility requirements specified in the FOA (noted as being on pages 5-6 of the announcement). In practice for SAC-type competitions, those requirements typically revolve around the applicant's ability to meet Health Center Program expectations for governance, service scope, patient population, access, quality, and financial and administrative controls, all aligned with section 330 requirements.
The FOA was posted on December 2, 2014, and closed on January 7, 2015, with an archive date of March 8, 2015. It is a grant (not a contract) and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award, though they still generally must demonstrate sustainability and appropriate use of federal funds consistent with Health Center Program rules.
For applicant support and administrative questions, HRSA provided contacts through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with the primary email listed as bphcsac@hrsa.gov and a named contact, Beth Hartmayer, with a phone number and extension. This is the point of contact for issues accessing the full announcement and related application guidance.
Overall, SAC AA is a targeted competition that aims to place operational Health Center Program grant support into specific communities where HRSA has identified a need for expanded safety-net primary care capacity. Applicants compete to become the funded health center operator for one of the specified service areas and must propose a compliant, culturally competent, community-anchored primary care program that meets Health Center Program standards and addresses local unmet need.
