Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 14 026) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to support health centers that serve underserved communities and vulnerable populations. The main purpose of the funding is to provide operational support so that health centers can continue delivering comprehensive, culturally competent, high quality primary health care in specific, HRSA announced service areas. In practical terms, this competition is about ensuring that designated communities maintain access to essential front line health services through organizations that can meet federal Health Center Program requirements.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement targets applicants seeking funding under the federal Health Center Program authorized in section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. It covers several types of health center models, 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)). HRSA uses the term "health center" broadly in this context to include any of these program types, reflecting the different populations and settings where federally supported primary care can be delivered.
The SAC FOA lays out the rules of the competition, including eligibility requirements, the criteria used to review applications, and the factors HRSA considers when making award decisions. While the summary information does not list the detailed criteria, it makes clear that eligibility is not automatic and applicants must meet all requirements specified in the FOA (noted as being on pages 4 and 5). The overall intent is to fund organizations that can operate as compliant health centers in the designated service area, maintaining or improving access to primary care for people who might otherwise face barriers such as low income, lack of insurance, housing instability, migrant or seasonal work conditions, or residence in public housing settings.
In terms of funding scale, HRSA anticipated making 22 awards under this opportunity. The award floor and award ceiling are listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates the amounts vary by service area and are determined based on the specifics of the competition and the announced service area needs rather than a single fixed minimum or maximum published in the summary table. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for applicants, which reduces financial barriers for eligible organizations and local entities that might otherwise struggle to provide required matching funds.
Eligible applicants span a wide range of public and private entities. The eligibility list includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category), and institutions of higher education (both private and public or state controlled). Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations are also included. The FOA notes that additional eligibility clarification is available in the full announcement, which is important because health center program eligibility often involves specific governance, service delivery, and community engagement requirements beyond basic organizational type.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted June 13, 2013, with an application closing date of October 30, 2013, and an archive date of December 29, 2013. 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). Applicants or interested parties who need the full FOA or have trouble accessing it are directed to the HRSA Call Center (877 464 4772) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and the archived announcement is available through the HRSA grants website link provided in the source data.
