About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families operates the Health Profession Opportunity Grants program (CFDA 93.093), which funds demonstration projects providing education and training in healthcare occupations to Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) recipients and other low-income individuals, with the most recent grant awards made in August 2024.
The program has been active since 2010 and has distributed $671.5 million in federal grants across 70 awards. Recent activity shows only two awards in 2024, a sharp decline from earlier funding cycles that awarded 32 grants in both 2010 and 2015, indicating substantially reduced current funding velocity. Grant awards fund concrete workforce development activities: clinical healthcare career pathways, community health worker organization capacity building, rural healthcare training programs, and allied health career pipelines that combine skills training with supportive services, employer coaching, and wraparound support for low-income participants. The program's portfolio is split nearly evenly between Cooperative Agreements (53 percent, 37 awards) and Project Grants (47 percent, 33 awards).
Funding remains concentrated within the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, which accounts for substantially all awards and federal dollars obligated, with a minor share from the HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (two awards totaling $7.9 million). Recent award magnitudes vary widely. The two most recent 2024 awards obligated $1 million and $6.9 million respectively, both supporting capacity-building assistance for community health worker organizations and territorial health agencies. Earlier cohorts from 2015 show larger individual awards, ranging from roughly $3 million to $15.7 million, supporting regional healthcare workforce initiatives at community colleges and health systems. Examples include the Northwest Ohio Pathway to Healthcare Careers project ($14.5 million), the Montefiore Medical Center Health Professions Opportunity Grant ($13.6 million), and the I-CATCH program in Connecticut ($15.7 million), all completed by 2021.
