to begin the capital development process, with the goal of helping
community health centers avoid the pitfalls that insufficiently planned
projects can encounter. It is presented as a series of questions to

"Selecting the Right Capital Project
Financing; A Guide for Health Center Staff and Boards" |

information they need to determine the best mix of capital financing
options for their projects. It includes comprehensive sections on
factors that influence health center financing, including debt capacity
and lending requirements, as well as sources of equity and debt
financing and credit enhancement. |

"Capital Funding Options for Rural
Community Health Centers: A Guidebook and Resource Listing" |
|
(available in print only), updated July, 2004
This book has been
developed to assist rural community health centers in the effort to
identify and obtain funding resources for building and equipment
projects. Although this book is intended for rural community health
centers, much of the information included is also useful to community
health centers in urban and areas where the population size varies. We
hope it will help health centers nationwide meet the capital challenges
related to providing increased access to comprehensive medical, dental,
mental health and substance abuse services for the nation's underserved
and uninsured.

put yourself in control of your project from the beginning. This manual will
