ACTION: Notice of supplemental funding.

supplemental funds to one Health Center Program award recipient with a

funding will extend their current period of performance by 12 months to 
prevent interruptions in access to critical primary health care

that is vulnerable to a lapse in access to comprehensive primary health 
care services.
    Amount of Competitive or Non-Competitive Award: One award for 
$9,369,314.
    Project Period: February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2026.

    Justification: BCHN is a current Health Center Program award 
recipient, and the supplemental funding will permit BCHN to continue 
operations from February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026, before 
submitting a competitive Service Area Competition application by the 
end of the 12-month extension period. The award recipient will continue 
activities with this supplemental funding that are within the scope of 
its current Health Center Program project. This action is necessary to 
ensure continued access to comprehensive primary health care services 
for the surrounding community. HRSA has determined that it is in the 
best interests of the Health Center Program and the residents in the 
service area to extend the period of performance for the current Health 
Center Program awardee to ensure the uninterrupted availability of and 
access to high-quality, comprehensive primary health care services to 
individuals throughout the service area and target population, 
regardless of the ability to pay.

Administrator.
