HRSA Extends Health Center Funding Deadlines by One Year
Published Date: 8/7/2025
Notice
Summary
HRSA is giving health centers an extra year to do their important work by extending their performance periods from 3 to 4 years. This means health centers get more time and steady funding to serve their communities before reapplying. The change helps keep care steady without changing the rules for centers that don’t meet program standards.
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Health Center Award Periods Extended
If you get care from a HRSA-funded health center, the center’s performance period is extended from 3 years to 4 years, giving the center more time and steady funding before it must reapply. HRSA says the funding for the extra year will be consistent with what would have been available through the Service Area Competition (SAC). Centers that fail to meet program requirements still may receive only a 1-year performance period if a new project period is awarded.
