Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 26 007
The Service Area Competition - Additional Area 1 (HRSA-26-007) is a FY 2026 Health Center Program funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) intended to protect and strengthen access to primary care in underserved communities. The core goal is to fund organizations that can deliver comprehensive, high-quality primary health care services to people who otherwise face barriers to care, including geographic, economic, and social obstacles. This particular Notice of Funding Opportunity is a Service Area Competition-Additional Area (SAC-AA), meaning HRSA is designating an additional service area where there is an urgent need for a replacement provider because the previously funded health center can no longer continue delivering services in that funded area. The additional area identified in this announcement is St. Gabriel, Louisiana.
Funding is provided through the Health Center Program (H80) under section 330(e) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Depending on the applicant's proposed scope and target population, an award may support services for a medically underserved population generally (Community Health Center, or CHC, funding) and/or services for specific underserved groups as defined in sections 330(g), 330(h), and 330(i): Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAW), individuals experiencing homelessness (HP), and residents of public housing (RPH). In practical terms, HRSA is looking for an organization that can step in and maintain or re-establish stable, full-service primary care access for the affected community, consistent with Health Center Program requirements.
Eligibility is structured around who is proposing to serve the service area listed in the Service Area Announcement Table (SAAT) and who meets the NOFO's other eligibility criteria. Applicants can come in several forms. A Competing Continuation applicant is an existing Health Center Program (H80) award recipient applying to continue serving its current service area. A Competing Supplement applicant is also an existing H80 award recipient, but one that proposes to serve the newly announced service area by adding one or more new, full-time, permanent service delivery sites to cover the additional area. A New applicant is an entity not currently funded through the Health Center Program that proposes to serve a listed service area; Health Center Program Look-Alikes are specifically allowed to apply as new applicants, and if selected, they would transition from look-alike status to becoming an H80-funded health center.
The opportunity is categorized as a mandatory grant in the health funding activity area (CFDA 93.224). Eligible applicant types are broad and include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); and other entities as permitted under the NOFO. HRSA anticipates making up to 2 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $1,565,269. The opportunity was created on January 13, 2026, and the original application closing date is March 16, 2026.
Overall, this SAC-AA announcement is best understood as a continuity-of-care and access-to-care intervention: HRSA has identified a specific community (St. Gabriel, LA) where federally supported health center services are at risk due to the prior awardee's inability to continue, and the agency is seeking qualified organizations that can quickly and credibly take responsibility for delivering Health Center Program services in that defined area through an H80 award.Apply for HRSA 26 007
