>> Award Announcement: Health care law helps community health centers build, renovate facilities, serve more patients (05/01/2012)

Capital Development-Immediate Facility Improvements (CD-IFI) grants will improve existing Health Center Program grantees’ efforts to improve the immediate facility needs within existing sites that are providing primary and preventive health services to medically underserved populations nationwide. Health Center Program grantees requesting CD-IFI funding must demonstrate how their proposal will address the immediate facility improvement needs at their current site(s).  

HRSA expects to award approximately $100 million for an estimated 250-300 CD-IFI grants in FY 2012. HRSA has established a cap of $500,000 as the amount of Federal funding that can be requested in a CD-IFI application. Within this cap, an eligible applicant may submit one application proposing a maximum of five alteration/renovation site-specific, stand-alone facility projects.

The program is authorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Section 10503, P.L. 111-148.
