Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant opportunity titled Service Expansion for Enabling Services for Special Populations (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-190) is a discretionary grant designed to help existing federally supported health centers expand or strengthen "enabling services" for patients who face major barriers to care. The central idea behind the program is that primary care access is not just about having a clinic visit available; many patients also need practical supports that make it possible to actually get to care, understand it, pay for it, and connect to related social services. This funding focuses on expanding those supports for special population health center programs.
The opportunity is grounded in the Health Center Program requirement that health centers provide enabling services to ensure access to required primary health care services and to facilitate access to comprehensive health and social services. In practice, enabling services commonly include activities such as case management, outreach and patient engagement, transportation assistance, interpretation and language access services, and education for patients and the broader community about available services and how to use them appropriately. The program also recognizes that many patients need help navigating financial and coverage-related issues, so another key enabling function is assisting patients in obtaining financial support for health and social services (for example, helping them understand eligibility, complete applications, or connect to assistance programs).
Eligibility is limited to existing Health Center Program grantees that already receive HRSA funding for one or more special population authorities under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. Specifically, eligible applicants include: Migrant Health Centers (MHC) under section 330(g), which serve migratory and seasonal farmworkers and their families; Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) grantees under section 330(h), which serve homeless individuals and families; and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC) grantees under section 330(i), which serve residents of public housing developments. In other words, this is not a start-up or new access point competition; it is targeted to current grantees already working with these populations and seeking to expand the enabling services component of their service model.
Applicants are expected to do three main things in their proposals. First, they must clearly define the target population they intend to serve and explain why that group needs additional or enhanced enabling services. This typically involves describing barriers such as housing instability, mobility and seasonal work patterns, limited English proficiency, lack of transportation, limited health literacy, difficulty navigating public benefits, or other social and economic factors that interfere with consistent access to care. Second, applicants must present a service delivery plan that shows how the proposed enabling services will directly respond to those identified needs, including what services will be provided, how patients will access them, how services will be staffed and coordinated, and how the health center will integrate enabling services into clinical care and referrals. Third, applicants must provide a sound business plan that ties the goals and objectives of the service delivery plan to the proposed budget, demonstrating that the requested funds are realistically aligned with activities, staffing, operational costs, and expected outputs.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted January 5, 2009, with an application closing date of March 2, 2009, and an archive date of May 1, 2009. HRSA anticipated making about 50 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000 under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet the matching terms described in the full announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health.
