The Department of State Health Services is seeking grant applications for the DSHS Federally Qualified Health Center Incubator Program to help eligible non-profit and public health care providers expand their services among underserved and uninsured Texans.
Donor Name: Texas Department of State Health Services
State: Texas
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/31/2022
Size of the Grant: $1 million
Details:
Last fall, the Texas Legislature appropriated $20 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds to support the program. Current federally qualified health centers, FQHC look-alikes and non-profit or public entities that provide primary care services are eligible to apply. FQHCs and look-alikes may use the funds for a variety of health care improvements, including purchasing new equipment, adding staff to increase services, and capital improvements to serve more patients. Providers that are not FQHCs can use the funds to go through the application process to qualify as FQHCs.
The FQHC Incubator Program is intended to support private, non-profit organizations and governmental entities in their ability to increase access to health care for Texans through expanding services or access to existing FQHCs and FQHC lookalikes as well as promoting and supporting new non-profit and public entities through the FQHC development process. Grants will be provided to organizations for activities that support these goals.
Funding Information
- Non-profit organizations and governmental entities that are not FQHCs but provide primary care services and are also working to become FQHCs or FQHC look-alikes can receive a maximum award of $1 million.
- Existing FQHCs and look-alikes can receive up to $500,000 through the program.
