Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) funding opportunity (HRSA-13-226) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support the continued or new operation of Health Center Program sites in specific, HRSA-announced service areas. The overall purpose is to improve health outcomes in underserved communities and among vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care. In this context, "health centers" refers broadly to organizations funded under section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, including Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (PHPC, section 330(i)). The SAC process is essentially a competition for operational support funds tied to a defined geographic service area and the population(s) associated with that area, as listed in HRSA's Service Area Announcement Table.
The opportunity anticipates making about 28 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $34,994,432, under CFDA number 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health, reflecting that awards are intended to directly support ongoing service delivery capacity rather than one-time construction or a narrowly limited clinical project.
Eligibility is structured around whether the applicant proposes to serve one of the specific service areas formally announced by HRSA. Eligible applicants include a range of public and nonprofit entities, such as state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); and certain Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), along with other entities as clarified in the full FOA. Importantly, applicants must fit within the SAC framework for the announced service area: a current Health Center Program grantee whose project period is ending within the stated window and that seeks to continue serving its current service area; an organization not currently funded through the Health Center Program that proposes to serve the entire announced service area; or a current grantee that proposes to add responsibility for the entire announced service area in addition to its existing service area. Applicants are limited to submitting only one application under a single SAC announcement number, which is designed to prevent multiple competing proposals from the same organization for the same competition.
Programmatically, HRSA requires SAC applicants to propose the operation of a full-scope health center delivering the required comprehensive primary, preventive, and enabling services either directly at the site(s) or through formal, established arrangements. A key restriction is that proposals cannot be limited to only a single service line such as dental, behavioral health, or prenatal care; the expectation is a comprehensive primary care model consistent with section 330 requirements. Another central requirement is access: the applicant must make services available to all individuals in the service area and target population, regardless of ability to pay. Even if an applicant proposes targeted outreach to a subpopulation within the service area (for example, people experiencing homelessness, LGBTQ individuals, or students at school-based sites), the health center must still ensure that others in need who seek care at the proposed location(s) can access services. Finally, the requested annual section 330 federal funding cannot exceed the service-area-specific funding cap established by HRSA for that announced service area and its designated population(s), and that cap is reflected in the applicant's budget request (including the SF-424A).
From an administrative standpoint, the FOA was posted June 7, 2012, created June 11, 2012, and closed December 5, 2012, with an archive date of February 3, 2013. Applicants seeking the full official announcement and detailed instructions were directed to HRSA's grants site, and HRSA provided support through its Contact Center (877-464-4772) and email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) for access issues or questions about the announcement.
