Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 109
The Service Area Competition-Additional Areas (SAC-AA) funding opportunity (HRSA-18-109) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224). It is designed to maintain and strengthen access to affordable, high-quality primary health care in specific communities that are medically underserved and already rely on Health Center Program-supported services. In practical terms, this competition is about making sure residents in the named service areas do not lose access to core primary care services when there is a need to identify or confirm an organization to serve that area under HRSA support.
This particular SAC-AA announcement targets three additional service areas: Anchorage, Alaska; Sarasota, Florida; and Perth Amboy, New Jersey. HRSA is soliciting applications from qualifying organizations to receive operational support to deliver comprehensive primary care in one of these announced areas. The opportunity is aimed at community-based, patient-directed entities that can function as a federally supported health center in the designated service area and that can demonstrate the capacity to meet local needs, especially for vulnerable populations that typically face barriers such as low income, lack of insurance, geographic isolation, housing instability, or other factors that limit access to care.
The notice clarifies that, for purposes of eligibility and program expectations, the term "health center" includes organizations funded under the main Health Center Program authorities in Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. That includes 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)). While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the core emphasis remains on nonprofit, community-based, patient-governed organizations aligned with Health Center Program requirements and capable of providing ongoing primary care services in the specified service area.
Applications submitted under this NOFO are evaluated using the eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors laid out in the announcement. The focus is on selecting an organization that can provide stable operational coverage and ensure continuity of care. The posted data indicate an expected number of awards of one, suggesting HRSA anticipated selecting a single awardee to serve one of the announced service areas under this competition. The opportunity was created February 26, 2018, with an original application closing date of April 27, 2018. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which commonly signals that the precise funding level is determined by HRSA based on the specific service area needs and the final award decision rather than being capped at a fixed maximum in the summary record.
Overall, SAC-AA is essentially a targeted, service-area-specific competition within HRSA's broader Health Center Program. Its purpose is continuity: keeping primary care available and affordable in designated underserved communities by competitively selecting a qualified health center organization to deliver services with federal operational support.Apply for HRSA 18 109
