Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (HRSA-13-254) is a discretionary grant run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the federal Health Center Program authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). Its purpose is to support the operation of health centers that deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in medically underserved communities and for vulnerable populations. The funding is intended to ensure people who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise face barriers to care can access core primary care services through community-based, patient-directed organizations.
This particular announcement solicits applications under the Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA), meaning applicants are competing to receive operational support to serve an announced service area under the Health Center Program. The opportunity covers multiple Section 330 health center types, depending on the needs of the service area and the applicant’s proposed scope: Community Health Centers (CHC, 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (HCH, 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (PHPC, 330(i)). In practical terms, the grant supports the delivery and ongoing operation of primary care services at health center sites within the specified service area, aligned with HRSA’s expectations for comprehensive, accessible care for underserved populations.
Eligibility is broad but focused on public and nonprofit private entities capable of operating a health center program. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments. The announcement also notes eligibility for public or nonprofit private entities such as tribal, faith-based, or community-based organizations, with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for this funding opportunity.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $1,912,275 and anticipated making 1 award. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). The grant was posted on September 10, 2012, with an application closing date of October 10, 2012, and an archive date of December 8, 2012.
The broader context HRSA provides is that the Health Center Program is a nationwide network serving high-need populations and areas. At the time of the announcement, HRSA reported funding more than 1,200 health centers operating more than 8,500 service delivery sites across every state, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin, with more than 20 million medically underserved and uninsured patients served in 2011. This SAC AA competition fits into that larger system by directing operational grant support to organizations proposing to serve an identified service area under Section 330.
