CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS - OFFICIALLY ORGANIZED IN 2005, CARING HANDS HEALTHCARE CENTERS, INC. (CHHC) WAS FORMED AS A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS TO PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. AN APPROVED FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, CHCC’S SERVICE AREA INCLUDES PITTSBURG COUNTY AND A PORTION OF LATIMER COUNTY, SERVING A POPULATION OF 51,539 PEOPLE. CHHC HAS 2 LOCATIONS IN MCALESTER, OK THE CENTRAL POINT AND COUNTY SEAT OF PITTSBURG COUNTY, AND 1 LOCATION IN HARTSHORNE, IN THE EASTERN PORTION OF PITTSBURG COUNTY. SINCE 2005, CHHC HAS SEEN POVERTY RATES AND THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED WITHIN THEIR SERVICE AREA CONTINUE TO GROW. IN 2023 CARING HANDS OF MCALESTER HAS SEEN MORE THAN 10,000 INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS, RECORDING OVER 33,500 PATIENT ENCOUNTERS. THE PROPOSED HEALTH CARE FACILITY, SUMMARIZED IN THE FOLLOWING REPORT IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT CHHC’S CONTINUING MISSION TO IMPROVE HEALTH BY OFFERING AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY CARE TO MCALESTER AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL BE LOCATED ON A 27-ACRE GREENFIELD SITE PURCHASED BY CHHC IN 2022 AND ANNEXED BY THE CITY OF MCALESTER IN JULY 2023. LOCATED NEAR OTHER MEDICAL FACILITIES, THE NEW FACILITY WILL BE ONE HALF MILE FROM MCALESTER REGIONAL HEALTH CENTER, AND PITTSBURG COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE NEW 40,815 S.F. HEALTH CARE CENTER WILL INCLUDE PRIMARY CARE, ACUTE CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC, PEDIATRIC CENTER, DIAGNOSTIC/RADIOLOGY LAB, PHARMACY, AND A DENTAL CLINIC. THE NEW BUILDING WILL BE SITED ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY, WITH VIEWS OF SMITHSON LAKE TO THE NORTH. THIS LOCATION ALLOWS EFFICIENT EXPANSION OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND THE ADDITION OF FUTURE OUTBUILDINGS AS OPTIONS IN RESPONSE TO FUTURE NEEDS. THE PROPOSED CPF/CDS FUNDING PROJECT INCLUDES THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE 4350 SQUARE FOOT DENTAL CLINIC LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE. THE CLINIC INCLUDES 10 OPERATORIES, PROVIDER OFFI CES, SUPERVISOR OFFICES, AND SUPPORT STAFF SPACES. ADDITIONAL AREAS INCLUDE SHIPPING AND RECEIVING, STORAGE, BREAK ROOM, AND STAFF NURSING STATION.

TO FULLY FUND THIS PROJECT, CHHC HAS ACQUIRED FUNDS THROUGH THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA ARPA FUNDS AND HAS SUBMITTED A FACILITY LOAN APPLICATION TO THE USDA. CURRENTLY, CHHC’S PATIENT GROWTH IS INHIBITED BY THE LACK OF AVAILABLE CLINICAL SPACE. THE NEW FACILITY WILL NOT ONLY ALLOW CHHC TO CONSOLIDATE THE TWO (2) MCALESTER LOCATIONS UNDER ONE ROOF BUT WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE MUCH-NEEDED CLINICAL SPACE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PROVIDERS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THE SERVICE AREA.

HAVING PROVIDED HIV SERVICES IN THE REGION FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE VARIOUS CARE AND PREVENTION INTERVENTIONS. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDED HIV CARE TO MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE PER YEAR, HIV SCREENING FOR MORE THAN 1200 ANNUALLY AND OUTREACH TO MORE THAN 4000 ANNUALLY. MARYLAND WAS RANKED SIXTH AMONG THE U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES IN HIV DIAGNOSIS RATES IN 2018. THE SUBURBAN REGION OF THE STATE INCLUDING PRINCE GEORGE?S AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES ARE LISTED AMONG THE 50 LOCAL AREAS THAT ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN HALF OF THE NEW HIV DIAGNOSIS IN THE COUNTRY. PRINCE GEORGE?S COUNTY, OUR HOME BASE, LEADS THE STATE IN NEW HIV DIAGNOSIS. UNLIKE THE SURROUNDING AREAS, ALMOST HALF THE NEW HIV CASES IN PRINCE GEORGE?S COUNTY (41%) REPORT HETEROSEXUAL CONTACT AS THE MODE OF TRANSMISSION. WHEN YOU OVERLAY THIS WITH THE INCREASING STI RATES AMONG BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN IN THE SAME AGE GROUP, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THERE IS AN UNMET NEED OF GENERAL SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE AND FOCUSED SERVICES FOR THIS POPULATION. THIS, IN ADDITION TO THE STIGMA AROUND HIV IN THE SUBURBAN REGION, MEANS MANY OF THE FOCUS POPULATION DO NOT SEE THEMSELVES AT RISK. USING THE DATA-TO-CARE APPROACH, WE INTEND TO FIRST START WITHIN OUR CLIENT BASE TO REACH OUT AND RECAPTURE CLIENTS THAT NEVER MADE IT TO CARE OR HAVE FALLEN OUT OF CARE, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO HAVE CD4 COUNTS THAT FALL AND VIRAL LOADS THAT CLIMB SUDDENLY. THIS APPROACH WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND OUR PARTNER SERVICES EFFORTS TO REACH MORE PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN EXP OSED, GET THEM TESTED AND INTO CARE IF POSITIVE, OR CONNECTED TO PREP IF NEGATIVE. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO DO MORE STI TESTING AND TREATMENT AND SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION. CLIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM WILL BE SUPPORTED THROUGH TWO INNOVATIVE APPROACHES: OUR SEXUAL HEALTH IN EVERYTHING (S/HE) CAMPAIGN AND THE HEALTHCONNECT PROGRAM. BOTH APPROACHES INVOLVE TRAINED LINKAGE TO CARE NAVIGATORS THAT WILL UTILIZE AT LEAST TWO NON-STATUS BASED, CDC-APPROVED BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS TO LINK CLIENTS TO CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE. THE PROJECT WILL TEST AT LEAST 300 PEOPLE PER YEAR FOR HIV, 90% WILL BE LINKED TO HIV CARE, 70% TO PREP, AND H2H WILL BE BETTER POSITIONED TO ASSIST THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WITH AN HIV CLUSTER RESPONSE.GIVEN THE CURRENT PANDEMIC, WE WERE HIT HARD WITH COVID CASES AND A PROLONGED LOCKDOWN. WE ANTICIPATE THAT OUR WORK WILL BE CUT OUT FOR US AS MANY IN OUR FOCUS POPULATION ARE DEALING WITH AN OVERALL SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES. HOWEVER, WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THROUGH THIS FOCUSED STRATEGY, WE WILL MAKE MEASURABLE PROGRESS IN OUR AREA?S PLAN TO END THE HIV EPIDEMIC. EACH ENCOUNTER WITH A CLIENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE TIDE OF HIV AND STI INFECTIONS IN OUR REGION.

A MOBILE APPLICATION TO OFFER UPFRONT HEALTHCARE PRICES AND AUTOMATED MEDICAL BILLING FOR SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED AMERICANS - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT THIS SBIR PHASE II (R44) GRANT APPLICATION WILL LEVERAGE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE HEALTHCARE SERVICE PRICING DATA (I.E. EMERGING BIG DATA RESOURCES) TO IMPROVE HEALTH INFORMATION DISSEMINATION AND UTILIZATION BY MINORITY HEALTH AND DISPARITY INDIVIDUALS, SMALL BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITIES. THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO REDUCE HEALTH LITERACY BARRIERS AROUND THE COST OF HEALTHCARE AND TO SIMPLIFY ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION THROUGH AN ASSISTED MOBILE APPLICATION AND SECURE SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (SMS) THAT HELPS MINORITY AND DISPARITY POPULATIONS GET THE CARE THEY NEED AT A PRICE THEY CAN AFFORD. THIS WILL ULTIMATELY IMPROVE HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND OUTCOMES WHILE REDUCING THE BURDEN OF MEDICAL DEBT. HEALTHCARE CONSUMERS TODAY HAVE LIMITED INFORMATION ABOUT THE COST OF A SERVICE UNTIL AFTER IT IS RENDERED, DESPITE THERE BEING SIGNIFICANT VARIABILITY IN THE PRICE OF THE SAME SERVICE DEPENDING ON LOCATION AND PROVIDER. THIS MAKES IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT FOR PATIENTS TO MAKE COST-INFORMED CHOICES ABOUT WHERE TO GET HEALTHCARE OR CHECK THE ACCURACY OF MEDICAL BILLS, CONTRIBUTING TO THE $195BN OF MEDICAL DEBT THAT AMERICANS ARE BURDENED WITH. MINORITY HEALTH AND DISPARITY POPULATIONS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THIS, WITH BLACK AMERICANS, HISPANIC AMERICANS AND THOSE BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) MORE LIKELY TO CARRY MEDICAL DEBT [1]. SOARING HEALTHCARE COSTS AND THE CONSIDERABLE IMPACTS TO MINORITY HEALTH AND DISPARITY POPULATIONS HAVE RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE CHANGES TO ENABLE HEALTHCARE PRICE TRANSPARENCY THROUGH MANDATING PUBLIC ACCESS TO PRICING DATA AND SHOPPING TOOLS. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS SBIR PHASE II (R44) RESEARCH PROPOSAL IS TO CREATE A LEGISLATIVELY COMPLIANT HEALTHCARE SERVICE COST ESTIMATOR AND BILLING MANAGEMENT MOBILE APPLICATION, WITH BILINGUAL AND SMS CAPABILITIES TO ASSIST MINORITY HEALTH AND DISPARITY POPULATIONS IN AMERICA FIND AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE AND PAY ACCURATE MEDICAL BILLS. THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF THIS SOLUTION HAS BEEN VALIDATED IN PHASE I OF THE RESEARCH, THROUGH PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT OF A COST ESTIMATOR AND BILLING MANAGEMENT APPLICATION FOCUSED ON PRICES OF HOSPITAL SERVICES ONLY. THE PROPOSED PHASE II RESEARCH WILL BUILD ON THE PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND ACHIEVE THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE THROUGH FOUR KEY AIMS: AIM 1: ASSEMBLE A NATIONAL PRICING DATABASE OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES PRICES PUBLISHED BY HEALTH PLANS, USING CLUSTER COMPUTING TO ENABLE HIGH-VOLUME DATA INGESTION; AIM 2: DEVELOP A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HEALTHCARE COST ESTIMATOR FOR SERVICE QUOTE BUILDING AND APPROVALS ACROSS MULTIPLE PARTIES FOR GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES; AIM 3: INTEGRATE A MULTI-LANGUAGE FRIENDLY CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND HIPAA-COMPLIANT SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (SMS) TO SUPPORT A BILINGUAL (ENGLISH AND SPANISH) APPLICATION AND AYSCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES; AIM 4: VALIDATE THE USABILITY OF THE ADVANCED COST ESTIMATOR AND BILLING MANAGEMENT APPLICATION (ACEBA) AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN IMPROVING ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY OF HEALTHCARE FOR SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS.

PURPOSE: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM PROVIDES ANNUAL GRANTS ON A FORMULA BASIS TO STATES, CITIES, AND COUNTIES TO DEVELOP VIABLE URBAN COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING DECENT HOUSING AND A SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND BY EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, PRINCIPALLY FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. THE PROGRAM IS AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE 1 OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, PUBLIC LAW 93-383, AS AMENDED 42 U.S.C. 5301 ET SEQ. THE CDBG PROGRAM COVERS FOUR DISTINCT PROGRAMS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN SET OF GOVERNING REGULATIONS: CDBG ENTITLEMENT, CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII, CDBG INSULAR AREAS, AND STATE CDBG. IN THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, HUD AWARDS GRANTS TO ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY GRANTEES TO CARRY OUT A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES DEVELOP THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND FUNDING PRIORITIES. IN THE CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII PROGRAM, THREE COUNTIES QUALIFY: HAWAII, KAUAI, AND MAUI. THE FY 2004 APPROPRIATIONS ACT REQUIRED THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII TO DECIDE IF THE STATE WISHED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM BY JULY 31, 2004. THE STATE MADE THE DECISION NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. AS A RESULT OF THIS DECISION HUD'S HONOLULU FIELD OFFICE ADMINISTERS THE NON-ENTITLED GRANTS IN HAWAII. FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED USING A FORMULA BASED ON POPULATION, POVERTY, AND HOUSING OVERCROWDING, WITH THE POVERTY FACTOR CARRYING A DOUBLE WEIGHT. FOR THE CDBG INSULAR AREAS PROGRAM, HUD ANNUALLY ALLOCATES CDBG GRANTS TO FOUR DESIGNATED AREAS: AMERICAN SAMOA; GUAM; NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS; AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. THE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED IN PROPORTION TO THE POPULATIONS OF THE ELIGIBLE TERRITORIES. THE PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY HUD'S FIELD OFFICES IN PUERTO RICO AND HAWAII. UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES PASS THROUGH CDBG GRANTS TO UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT. ANNUALLY, EACH STATE DEVELOPS FUNDING PRIORITIES AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROJECTS. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS. NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS INCLUDE THOSE UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHICH DO NOT RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS DIRECTLY FROM HUD. GENERALLY, NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS ARE CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 50,000 (EXCEPT CITIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS), AND COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 200,000. CURRENT CDBG AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LIST OF HUD COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (CPD) AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/ALLOCATIONS-AWARDS/; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: CDBG FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY; RELOCATION AND DEMOLITION; REHABILITATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES; CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES, STREETS, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, AND THE CONVERSION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES; PUBLIC SERVICES, WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS; ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ENERGY CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES; PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE TO PROFIT-MOTIVATED BUSINESSES TO CARRY OUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION/RETENTION ACTIVITIES. EACH ACTIVITY MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROGRAM: BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, PREVENTION OR ELIMINATION OF SLUMS OR BLIGHT, OR ADDRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS HAVING A PARTICULAR URGENCY BECAUSE EXISTING CONDITIONS POSE A SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE HEALTH OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH OTHER FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE. GENERALLY, THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACTIVITIES ARE INELIGIBLE: ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, OR RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR THE GENERAL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT; POLITICAL ACTIVITIES; CERTAIN INCOME PAYMENTS; CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSING (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS). UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES MAY USE $100,000 PLUS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE PERCENT OF ITS CDBG ALLOCATION. AMOUNTS EXPENDED ON ADMINISTRATION IN EXCESS OF $100,000 MUST BE MATCHED. STATES MAY EXPEND UP TO THREE PERCENT OF THEIR CDBG ALLOCATION ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, THE TOTAL A STATE SPENDS ON BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE EXPENSES MAY NOT EXCEED $100,000 PLUS THREE PERCENT OF THE STATE'S ALLOCATION. CPD HAS DEVELOPED PROFILES THAT DISPLAY GRANTEE-REPORTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR SELECTED HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. PROFILES FOR GRANTEES WILL VARY, AS GRANTEES HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING THE HOUSING, ECONOMIC, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THEY CARRY OUT WITH CDBG FUNDS. THE MOST RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE VIEWED WITHIN THE NATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORTS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/PROGRAMS/CDBG/CDBG-ACCOMPLISHMENT-REPORTS/; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE CDBG PROGRAM REINFORCES SEVERAL IMPORTANT VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THEIR OWN NEEDS AND PRIORITIES; AN EMPHASIS ON CONSOLIDATED PLANNING THAT EXPANDS AND STRENGTHENS PARTNERSHIPS AMONG ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN ENHANCING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES AND SET-ASIDE FOR GRANTEES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF THESE PARTNERS. EACH CDBG GRANTEE’S EXPECTED OUTCOMES ARE DESCRIBED AS GOALS IN THEIR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THE MOST RECENT CONSOLIDATED PLANS CAN BE VIEWED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/REPORTS/#CONSOLIDATED-PLANS-ANNUAL-ACTION-PLANS-AND-CAPERS; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OVER A 1, 2, OR 3-YEAR PERIOD, AS SELECTED BY THE GRANTEE, NOT LESS THAN 70 PERCENT OF CDBG FUNDS MUST BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. HUD DOES NOT PROVIDE CDBG ASSISTANCE DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, NONPROFIT OR ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR LOCAL MUNICIPAL OR COUNTY OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS MAY DIFFER FROM ONE GRANTEE TO ANOTHER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTEE ADMINISTERS THE CDBG PROGRAM AND DETERMINES WHICH LOCAL PROJECTS RECEIVE FUNDING. ELIGIBLE GRANTEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS (MSAS); OTHER METROPOLITAN CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 50,000; QUALIFIED URBAN COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 200,000 (EXCLUDING THE POPULATION OF ENTITLED CITIES); STATES AND INSULAR AREAS. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA IS FUNDED UNDER THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM. THE STATE OF HAWAII DOES NOT PARTICIPATE, AND HUD ALLOCATES THE STATE'S SHARE OF FUNDS TO THE THREE HAWAII NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES. THE STATES ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

PURPOSE: THE OVERALL PURPOSE OF THE OLDER ADULT HOME MODIFICATION PROGRAM (OAHMP) IS TO ASSIST EXPERIENCED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES IN UNDERTAKING COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS THAT MAKE SAFETY AND FUNCTIONAL HOME MODIFICATIONS REPAIRS AND RENOVATIONS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME ELDERLY HOMEOWNERS. THE GOAL OF THE HOME MODIFICATION PROGRAM IS TO ENABLE LOW-INCOME ELDERLY PERSONS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES THROUGH LOW-COST, LOW BARRIER, HIGH IMPACT HOME MODIFICATIONS TO REDUCE OLDER ADULTS’ RISK OF FALLING, IMPROVE GENERAL SAFETY, INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY, AND TO IMPROVE THEIR FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES IN THEIR HOME. THIS WILL ENABLE OLDER ADULTS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES, THAT IS, TO “AGE IN PLACE,” RATHER THAN MOVE TO NURSING HOMES OR OTHER ASSISTED CARE FACILITIES.; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: HUD’S OFFICE OF LEAD HAZARD CONTROL AND HEALTHY HOMES IS MAKING AVAILABLE GRANT FUNDS AND TRAINING RESOURCES TO NON-FEDERAL ENTITIES. UNDER THE OAHMP AWARD, EXPERIENCED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES WILL DELIVER HOME MODIFICATION SERVICES TO QUALIFIED BENEFICIARIES. THE OAHMP MODEL FOCUSES ON LOW-COST, HIGH-IMPACT HOME MODIFICATIONS. EXAMPLES OF THESE HOME MODIFICATIONS INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF GRAB BARS, RAILINGS, AND LEVER-HANDLED DOORKNOBS AND FAUCETS, AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION OF ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS TEMPORARY RAMP, TUB/SHOWER TRANSFER BENCH, HANDHELD SHOWER HEAD, RAISED TOILET SEAT, RISERS FOR CHAIRS AND SOFAS, AND NON-SLIP STRIPS FOR TUB/SHOWER OR STAIRS. THE OAHMP MODEL PRIMARILY RELIES ON THE EXPERTISE OF A LICENSED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST (OT) TO ENSURE THAT THE HOME MODIFICATION ADDRESSES THE CLIENT’S SPECIFIC GOALS AND NEEDS AND PROMOTES THEIR FULL PARTICIPATION IN DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES. THE OT IS TRAINED TO EVALUATE CLIENTS’ FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES AND THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE RANGE OF LOW-COST, HIGH-IMPACT ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT USED TO OPTIMIZE THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND INCREASE INDEPENDENCE.
