Health Center Grants for Homeless Populations

The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service funds health services delivery to homeless populations under CFDA 93.151, though the program has not disbursed new grants since September 2003, over twenty years ago.

The program funded organizations providing direct health services to homeless populations. Recent awards from 2003 ranged from approximately $87 thousand to $1.57 million, with most falling between $250 thousand and $600 thousand. All 412 grants awarded under the program since its inception in 2000 were structured as Project Grants, with the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service as the sole funding agency, obligating $141.1 million in total federal dollars across the portfolio.

Activity peaked in 2001 and 2002, when the program made 114–115 awards per year, declining slightly to 99 awards in 2003. The four-year period from 2000 to 2003 produced 412 total awards. The most recent grant awards on record are dated July 2003 and September 2003, with project completion dates in 2004.

No recent grant opportunities are currently open under this program. Because the funding record ends in 2003 with no subsequent awards or posted solicitations, the program does not represent an active funding vehicle for current pursuit. Organizations with existing interests in health services for homeless populations should verify the program's current status with the Department of Health and Human Services before allocating business development resources.
