DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration


Notification of Expiring Project Periods for Health Care for the 
Homeless and Health Care Services for Homeless Children Programs

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 
announces that a total of 16 Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) 
grantees and 1 Health Care for Homeless Children grantee will reach the 
end of their project periods during fiscal year (FY) 1997. Assuming the 
availability of sufficient appropriated funds in FY 1997, 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 a HCH 
program grantee. During this process, communication with Regional 
Office staff is essential (see Appendix I). A subsequent notice will be 
published in the Federal Register to announce the availability of funds 
for FY 1997 and provide application and detailed information on the 
grant review criteria.

DUE DATES: Current grant expiration dates vary by grantee throughout FY 
1997. Applications for competing continuation grants are normally due 
120 days prior to the expiration of the current grant award. However, 
to allow potential applicants sufficient time to prepare application 
materials for those areas in which grants are expiring on October 31, 
1996, applications for grants beginning November 1, 1996 will be due 90 
days prior to the expiration of the current grant award or no later 
than August 1, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HCH program is carried out currently 
under the authority of section 340 of the Public Health Service Act. 
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 provided by existing community-based programs/
providers. In addition, the Health Care Services for Homeless 
Children's program provides comprehensive primary health services to 
homeless children and to children at imminent risk of homelessness.
    The list of areas in which a current homeless project period 
expires in FY 1997 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 PHS regional 
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: June 11, 1996.

Administrator.
