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.
