While we can work with any nonprofit health center, the support of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ HRSA allows us to provide many of our services gratis to Section 330 health centers eligible for and interested in applying to BPHC’s Health Center Loan Guarantee Program (LGP). And even if you do not plan on applying to the LGP, many of our early-stage planning services are available to you without charge. In addition, support from the Tides Center allows us to provide many of our services without charge to clinics in California, regardless of Section 330 status.

Also, Capital Link works with the Primary Care Associations (PCAs) to provide statewide and regional assistance in developing capital resources for health centers.
