Medicaid Program: Notice of Single 

Source Grant Award to the State of 

Louisiana for the Grant Entitled 

‘‘Deficit Reduction Act—Hurricane 

Katrina Healthcare Related Primary 

Care Access Stabilization Grant’’ 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Funding Amount: $100,000,000. 

Period of Performance: July 23, 2007 

through September 30, 2010. 

CFDA: 93.776. 

Authority: Section 6201(a)(4) of the Deficit 

Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA). 

Purpose: This grant program has been 

made available to the State of Louisiana 

to restore and expand access to primary 

care, including primary mental health 

care, in the Greater New Orleans area. 

This area is facing inadequate primary 

care access as a result of Hurricane 

Katrina and its subsequent floods 

causing a unique negative impact on the 

low income and uninsured populations 

of Greater New Orleans. Funding under 

this grant program must be used by the 

State of Louisiana to assist it to make 

payments for purposes of addressing 

primary health care access issues in 

Greater New Orleans’ ‘‘impacted 

communities’’, defined for purposes of 

this grant, to be those four parishes 

located in the State of Louisiana’s 

Region 1, as defined by the Louisiana 

Department of Health and Hospitals, 

namely, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, 

and Plaquemines. This grant includes 

$4,000,000 for the City of New Orleans 

Health Department to help restore its 

ability to meet its primary care mission 

in new and emerging neighborhoods 

being repopulated. 

The grant funds must be used only for 

funding eligible primary care clinics 

that: Provide at least one or more of the 

core primary care services with its own 

practitioners in an outpatient setting; 

formally commit to provide care to all 

individuals, regardless of ability to pay; 

are either a public or not-for-profit 

(NFP) entity that is sustainable; and 

demonstrate commitment to practice in 

the Greater New Orleans area for the 

long term. Because of the urgent need to 

get funds out as timely as possible 

under less than ideal local 

circumstances, the State of Louisiana 

has selected a locally based partner (that 

was able to meet certain criteria) to 

oversee and monitor local conditions,
