Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act Capital Development - Immediate Facility Improvements Program (HRSA-12-116) was a one-time, competitive federal grant opportunity administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help existing HRSA-funded health centers handle urgent, near-term facility needs. Using Affordable Care Act (ACA) funding, the program set aside an estimated total of about $100 million, with the expectation of making roughly 250 awards. The overall goal was to quickly strengthen the physical condition and functionality of currently operating section 330 health center facilities through targeted improvements, rather than launching large expansion or new construction projects.
Eligible applicants were limited to organizations that were already health center grantees under the Health Center Program (sections 330(e), (g), (h), and (i)) with FY 2011 grant support approved. Applicants generally needed to be nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status, though the official eligibility language also allowed certain other entities as clarified in the full announcement. The emphasis was on supporting existing health center operations and ensuring improvements directly benefited section 330 service delivery.
Funding could be used specifically for alteration and renovation (A/R) costs that address immediate and pressing capital needs within existing, section 330-supported health center sites. A key restriction was that requests (as shown on the SF-424C budget form) could not exceed $500,000 per application. Projects also had to stay within the health center's current approved scope of project, meaning the facility involved needed to be an approved site already recognized by HRSA (for example, listed on Form 5B). Work could not begin before the award date, reinforcing the program's compliance requirements and ensuring that federal funds supported future, award-approved activities rather than reimbursing work already underway.
The program included several guardrails to keep funds focused on direct patient-service space and to prevent using federal capital dollars for revenue-generating real estate activity. For instance, the improved space could not be intended for rental to other entities for the purpose of generating revenue; instead, the space had to be operated by the grantee and used to deliver services consistent with section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. In addition, proposed projects could not be tied to subrecipient or contractor sites, keeping the improvements centered on the grantee's own approved service locations.
Another important limitation was designed to avoid duplicating recent federal capital investments. Projects were not allowed at sites that had already received construction-related funding through prior HRSA programs such as the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Facility Investment Program (FIP), or FY 2011 Capital Development funding opportunities. In short, HRSA was trying to spread capital assistance to sites with unmet needs rather than revisiting locations that had recently benefited from similar federal construction or renovation awards.
The opportunity was posted on September 9, 2011, and closed on October 12, 2011, with an archive date of December 10, 2011. It was categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity in the health activity area, carried CFDA number 93.526 (ACA Grants for Capital Development in Health Centers), and did not require cost sharing or matching funds. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, HRSA directed inquiries to its call center via email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone (877-464-4772, with an alternate line listed as 301-998-7373).
