Announcing Project Period Extensions
With Funding for Health Center
Program Award Recipients in Puerto
Rico; Health Center Program
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
AGENCY:
Announcing project period
extensions with Funding for Health
Center Program Award recipients in
Puerto Rico.
ACTION:
Justification: In September 2017, HHS
declared a hurricane-related public
health emergency in Puerto Rico. Health
centers in Puerto Rico and the patients
they serve continue to face significant
challenges associated with recovery
from Hurricane Maria. For these four
award recipients, the funding permits
them to continue to operate in the
current fiscal year before submitting
competitive applications by the end of
the 12-month extension period.
Extending the project period and
providing flexibility for competing
applications for these four award
recipients aligns with the Office of
Management and Budget’s
memorandum to provide short-term
relief to affected award recipients,
‘‘Administrative Relief for Grantees
Impacted by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma,
and Maria,’’ signed on October 26, 2017.
HRSA awarded approximately $17
million to the four existing Health
Center Program award recipients noted
in Table 1.
