Care Resource Community Health Center

On July 9, 2019, Community Health Center Capital Fund (Capital Fund) completed $10.7 million in New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing and provided a $2 million direct loan to support Care Resource Community Health Center's $32.8 million expansion of its main facility in Miami, FL. The project will allow Care Resource to serve an additional 52,000 patients with 98,000 additional visits by the end of 2026, and create an additional 257 full-time staff positions.

 
The Floating Hospital, Long Island City, NY

With 70% of The Floating Hospital patients considered homeless and 96% low income, this project expands efforts to provide affordable health care to those in need. Set to be completed in 2019, the new 29,500 square foot facility is almost twice the size of the current site.

This expansion will allow The Floating Hospital to serve a projected 22,000 patients by 2026, compared to 12,000 in 2017. The renovated health center will provide space for 166 full-time employees, in addition to creating 112 construction jobs.
