Notice of Availability of Final Health 

Center Program Policy Guidance 

Regarding Services To Support 

Transitions in Care for JusticeInvolved Individuals Reentering the 

Community 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), Department of 

Health and Human Services. 

ACTION: Final notice. 

SUMMARY: The final Health Center 

Program Policy Guidance Regarding 

Services to Support Transitions in Care 

for Justice-Involved Individuals 

Reentering the Community Policy 

Information Notice (JI–R PIN) has been 

developed to assist health centers who 

choose to provide certain primary 

health care services to support the 

transition of JI–R individuals from the 

carceral setting back into the 

community setting. 

DATES: This Final JI–R PIN is effective 

on the date of publication of this notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions regarding this notice, use the 

HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care 

Contact Form: https://hrsa.force.com/ 

support/s/ or call Jennifer Joseph, 

Director, Office of Policy and Program 

Development, Bureau of Primary Health 

Care, HRSA, at 301–594–4300. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HRSA 

provides grants to eligible applicants 

under section 330 of the Public Health 

Service Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 

254b), to support the delivery of 

preventive and primary care services to 

the nation’s underserved individuals 

and families. HRSA also certifies 

eligible applicants under the Health 

Center Look-Alike Program (see sections 

1861(aa)(4)(B) and 1905(l)(2)(B) of the 

Social Security Act). Look-alikes do not 

receive Health Center Program funding 

but must meet the Health Center 

Program statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Health centers are local 

organizations that provide 

comprehensive, high-quality primary 

health care services tailored to their 

communities regardless of their 

patients’ ability to pay. Nearly 1,400 

Health Center Program-funded health 

centers and more than 100 Health 

Center Program look-alike organizations 

operate more than 16,100 service 

delivery sites that provide care to more 

than 32 million patients in every U.S. 

state, the District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the 

Pacific Basin. Note that for the purposes 

of this document, the term ‘‘health 

center’’ refers to entities that receive a 

federal award under section 330 of the 

Public Health Service Act, as well as 

subrecipients and organizations 

designated as look-alikes, unless 

otherwise stated. 

This final JI–R PIN establishes policy 

for all health centers that apply for and 

receive a federal award under the Health 

Center Program, as authorized by 

section 330 of the Public Health Service 

(PHS) Act (including sections 330(e), 

(g), (h), and (i)), as well as section 330 

subrecipient organizations and Health 

Center Program look-alikes. This final 

JI–R PIN is intended to support health 

centers in providing certain health 

services—delivered under the exclusive 

control and authority of the health 

center—to support the transition of JI– 

R individuals from the carceral setting 

back into the community setting. The 

services the health center provides are 

limited to services that support reentry. 

A health center may not take on or 

replace the provision of any other health 

care services the carceral authority 

provides to those who are incarcerated 

or detained. 

HRSA released a draft of the JI–R PIN 

for a 60-day public comment period. 

HRSA revised the JI–R PIN in response 

to comments and posted a summary of 

comments and HRSA’s responses at 

https://bphc.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/ 

bphc/compliance/pin-2024-05- 

comments-summary.pdf. 

Organizations receiving Health Center 

Program federal awards, including 

subrecipients, and organizations 

designated as Health Center Program 

look-alikes, continue to be subject to all 

requirements stated in Notices of 

Funding Opportunity, Notices of 

Award, Look-Alike Initial Designation 

and Redesignation Instructions, Notices 

of Look-Alike Designation, as well as 

other applicable laws, regulations, and 

policies. Organizations are also subject 

to the distinct statutory, regulatory, and 

policy requirements of other federal 

programs in which they participate.
