This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Programâ₏™s Service Area Competition (SAC).  The Health Center Program supports patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that provide primary and preventive health care services to the Nationâ₏™s medically underserved.  The purpose of the SAC funding opportunity is to ensure continued access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services for communities and vulnerable populations served by the Health Center Program.  This FOA details the SAC eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support to provide primary and preventive health care services to an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC â₏“ section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC â₏“ section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH â₏“ section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC â₏“ section 330(i)).  For the purposes of this document, the term â₏œhealth centerâ₏ encompasses these types of grant funding (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and PHPC).

[1] HRSA considers service area overlap when making funding determinations for new and competing supplement applicants if zip codes are proposed on Form 5B: Service Sites beyond those listed on the SAAT.  For more information about service area overlap, refer to Policy Information Notice 2007-09. 12/02/2015 This program does not have cost sharing or matching requirements.
