About HPOG

The Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG), administered by the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, awarded grants to organizations to provide education and training to TANF recipients and other low-income individuals for occupations in the health care field that paid well and were expected to either experience labor shortages or be in high demand.

ACF awarded the second round of HPOG grants to 32 organizations located across 21 states for a five-year period. HPOG 2.0 grantees were: ten higher education institutions, five tribal organizations, seven workforce system agencies, four state government agencies, and six community-based organizations. This second round of grant awards was extended an additional 12 months, ending September 29, 2021.
