DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Notification of Expiring Project Periods for Health Care for the 
Homeless Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 
announces that a total of 9 Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) grantees 
will reach the end of their project periods during fiscal year (FY) 
1998. Assuming the availability of sufficient appropriated funds in FY 
1998, it is the intent of HRSA to continue to support health services 
to the homeless populations in these areas/locations given the 
continued need for cost-effective, community-based primary care 
services for these medically underserved populations within these 
geographic areas.
    This notice provides interested parties the opportunity to gather 
information and decide whether to pursue Federal funding as an HCH 
program grantee. During this process, communication with HRSA Field 
Office staff is essential (see Appendix I).

DUE DATES: Current grant expiration dates vary by grantee throughout FY 
1998. Applications for competing continuation grants are normally due 
120 days prior to the expiration of the current grant award.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HCH program is carried out currently 
under the authority of section 330(h) of the Public Health Service Act 
(42 U.S.C. 254b(h)). The HCH program is designed to increase the 
homeless population's access to cost-effective, case managed, and 
integrated primary care and substance abuse services.
    The list of areas in which a current homeless project period 
expires in FY 1998 is set forth in Appendix II. The areas listed 
include the city. Further information including the census tract, if 
applicable, can be obtained by contacting the appropriate HRSA Field 
Office (see Appendix I).
    A project period is the total amount of time for which a grant has 
been programmatically approved. For purposes of this notice, grant 
awards will be made for a one year budget period and up to a five year 
project period.

    Dated: August 4, 1997.
Claude Earl Fox,
Acting Administrator.
