This learning collaborative is designed to assist health centers that anticipate conducting a capital project during the next one to three years and are considering the benefits of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Health Center Facility Loan Guarantee Program (LGP).
A learning collaborative is a dynamic, virtual peer exchange that enables dialogue among stakeholders pursuing similar objectives to explore promising best practices, solve challenging problems, and create new opportunities. Through a series of interactive learning sessions conducted in October 2024, the HRSA LGP Learning Collaborative will provide participating health centers with guidance and tips on all key elements and requirements for submitting a HRSA LGP application. The application review, approval, and loan closing process will be addressed along with key steps for successful capital project planning. Resources that are both publicly available and Capital Link-developed will be provided throughout the collaborative.
The LGP Learning Collaborative has two primary components:
- Group Learning: Through a series of four webinars conducted in October 2024, health centers will learn about the application process for financing a capital project with a loan guarantee from HRSA.
- Individualized Planning Services: Each Learning Collaborative session will include exercises and planning templates that participants can adapt for their individual organization and projects. In addition, some individualized guidance from Capital Link consultants will be available to help the participating health centers understand specific aspects of their project planning and financing.
