  7. PHPC History In 1991, the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Services and Resources Administration (HRSA) established the Public Housing Primary Care Program and funded the first seven health center grantees. The first PHPC programs were: Ella Austin Health Center (now known as CommuniCare Health Care Centers), San Antonio Texas; Family Practice and Counseling Network, Resources for Human Development, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Grace Hill Neighborhood Health Centers, St. Louis, Missouri; Great Brook Valley Health Center, Worcester, MA; Primary Care Health Services, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; The Clinic at Altgeld (now known as TCA Health, Inc.), Chicago, Illinois; West End Medical Centers, Atlanta, Georgia
  8. The PHPC Program Today Today there are 61 PHPC grantees in 24 states and Puerto Rico. These programs provide high-quality comprehensive, case- managed, and family-based preventive and primary health care services to approximately 187,992 residents at over 711 public housing service delivery sites.
  9. Administration of the PHPC Program HRSA provides resources to support the PHPC program through a Cooperative Agreement grant to provide technical assistance to PHPC health centers and health centers wishing to provide services to public housing residents. The National Center for Health and Public Housing Training and in additional to technical assistance, provides regional and national trainings, newsletters, white papers, listservs and webinars

  25. Outreach to Residents in Public Housing Use of Community Members as Outreach Workers Identifying Community Leaders Issues Effectively using Partnership with Housing Authority Tenant Advisory Boards Floor Captains Attending Community Meetings Hosting and Tabling at Community Events Challenges and Barriers Hard to reach areas Scattered sites Safety Concerns 25
  26. Becoming a PHPC Grantee In general, PHPC grantees must demonstrate compliance with all Section 330(e) and Section 330(i) requirements, as well as all applicable HRSA guidelines. Specific Section 330 (i) requirement includes a Formal agreement with the local Public Housing Authority. The application must include a copy of the MOU. Sample available through the National Center for Health and Public Housing. Grant announcements can be found on grants.gov 26
  27. Preparing for your PHPC application PHPC programs have established highly effective partnerships with public housing authorities and resident/tenant organizations to facilitate the delivery of services. Residents are actively involved in the design of services and program governance, and are routinely trained or employed as outreach workers and case managers.
  28. Preparing for your PHPC application (Continued) A Needs Assessment must be conducted The National Center has a toolkit on their website (www.nchph.org) specifically on developing a needs assessment for residents in public housing. Needs Assessment must include local and state statistics Identify your service area’s public housing developments, as per HRSA guidelines, e.g., Urban, Rural & High Poverty) Determine how many residents and the local demographics associated with the Housing Authority Determine how many of those residents access your clinic(s) primary health care services Describe the public housing residents’ health disparities, e.g. hypertension, asthma, etc. List, in your service area, other primary health care providers?
  29. Preparing for your PHPC application (Continued) What are the other community agencies located near the target public housing community How are they currently working with these residents How are you partnering with these agencies currently. What type of partnership opportunities might be available. Community Partnerships are critical to the success of the PHPC program
  30. PHPC Application Program Design What will the service delivery model be? Onsite, Close by, Mobile Medical Units What factors influence this decision? Lack of transportation of residents In ability to build onsite Units are spread out What will staffing look like Must meet the needs of target community (seniors, children, adolescents) Will your model include residents Successful applications should answer the 5 W’s and H (Who, What, When, Where, Why and How)
  31. PHPC ApplicationLetters of Support Must include a letter of support from your State Primary Care Association. You must have a letter of support from your local housing authority (and preferably a copy of your MOU – a sample MOU can be found at www.nchph.org). A letter of support from the resident council, noting how they were included in the drafting of the proposal and how they will continue to work after funding, is recommended. If your target public housing community is in the same area as another health center, it is strongly recommended that you have a letter of support from that health center.
