HEZ Community Health Workers
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking up to six grant agreements for Health Enterprise Zone (HEZ) Community Health Worker Programs in North Philadelphia, specifically targeting 15 designated zip codes. This Request for Applications (RFA) aims to improve health outcomes by deploying Community Health Workers (CHWs) who will address social determinants of health, including multi-generational household health needs, food security, mental health, asthma, diabetes, and substance use disorder. The primary objectives include reducing barriers to care for health care service super utilizers, increasing access to high-quality care through community-based professionals, and developing a culturally competent workforce to address health disparities. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with a physical address within the designated HEZ zip codes and must submit both a technical submittal and a cost submittal. The response deadline is July 15, 2025, with a proposed grant term of two years and potential extension for up to three additional one-year periods. Evaluation will focus on the applicant's technical approach, qualifications, understanding of the project, and ability to meet specified performance standards.
Eligible applicants are restricted to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations located within the specified North Philadelphia zip codes, with administrative fees capped at 10% of the total proposed cost. The maximum funding available is $500,000 per year for each award, contingent on state funding availability, and salaries exceeding $100,000 per year require written justification. The program emphasizes culturally competent, trauma-informed services that integrate CHWs into community health settings, with a focus on creating a workforce that can effectively bridge gaps between healthcare providers and individuals in vulnerable communities. Successful applicants will be reimbursed for work satisfactorily performed after executing the agreement, with a strong emphasis on integrating CHWs who can provide support in navigating the health system, offering social support, and advocating for health-related needs. The program requires compliance with various appendices, including lobbying certifications, worker protection certifications, and business associate addendums that outline specific requirements for handling protected health information and maintaining organizational standards.
