Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Public Health Financial Services Division received a formula grant award of $405,818 from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP, CFDA 93.092). The award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, supports Oregon's delivery of evidence-based sexual health education and youth development services targeting youth ages 10-19, with particular emphasis on pregnant and parenting youth under age 21. The program focuses on preventing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV/AIDS through medically accurate instruction on abstinence and contraception, supplemented by adulthood preparation curricula covering healthy relationships, financial literacy, adolescent development, and career readiness.

As a state formula grant recipient, OHA will implement PREP services consistent with federal requirements mandating evidence-based program replication and age-appropriate, culturally sensitive delivery. The award reflects OHA's established capacity to serve special populations including youth in foster care, juvenile justice systems, homeless situations, and those who are trafficking victims. OHA's receipt of this formula grant aligns with the state's five-year PREP funding cycle, requiring continued compliance with grant terms, satisfactory program progress, and submission of letters of intent for subsequent annual awards throughout the award period.
