Project Grant H8055723

The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration awarded Happi Health $1.3 million under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224) on August 1, 2026, to expand primary health care access and services in Huntsville, Alabama.

Happi Health, a 501(c)(3) community health center with look-alike designation, operates four existing sites and is establishing a new access point in high-needs ZIP code 35805 to serve low-income, uninsured, and underinsured populations at or below 200 percent of federal poverty level. In 2023, the organization served 10,021 unduplicated patients across 31,820 medical visits (31,442 in-person, 378 virtual) and 1,561 mental health visits (1,546 in-person, 15 virtual), with 65 percent of patients pediatric. The patient population includes 63 percent Medicaid-covered, 10.4 percent uninsured, and fewer than 1 percent with incomes exceeding 200 percent federal poverty level.

The award supports continued expansion of comprehensive primary care, pediatric, adult, family medicine, and behavioral health services on a sliding fee scale to address barriers to care including poverty and limited private practice availability. Performance runs through July 31, 2027, with all work located in Huntsville, Alabama. Happi Health receives this funding as a direct recipient with no sub-recipients identified.
