The Health Center Program (Opportunity Number: HRSA-25-095) is a discretionary grant forecasted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This grant aims to support health centers located in areas affected by Hurricane Helene, a FEMA-declared disaster area. The program provides financial assistance to help health centers manage unforeseen costs related to maintaining access to comprehensive primary care services during the disaster recovery period.

Health centers in the impacted area may request an advance of up to 25 percent of their anticipated fiscal year 2025 Health Center Program continuation funding. This advance is intended to help health centers cover eligible in-scope activities and allowable costs during the recovery phase. However, the amount advanced will be deducted from the health centers' final continuation award for fiscal year 2025.

Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity include health centers located in areas affected by Hurricane Helene. These health centers must be providing essential primary care services and seeking assistance to maintain continuity of care during disaster recovery. No cost-sharing or matching is required for this grant.

The application process and specific details regarding deadlines will be provided once the funding opportunity is officially posted. Health centers will be able to apply through HRSA's Electronic Handbooks (EHB) system. Interested applicants can reach out to the contact provided, Matt Kozar, for further information.
