CHHS is a nationally recognized community development entity specializing in investing in healthcare businesses and healthcare infrastructure in America’s most severely distressed communities. CHHS provides catalytic debt and equity investments to high-impact projects in medically underserved low-income communities throughout the U.S. Investments are prioritized based upon their ability to provide healthcare services to low-income individuals and families, and provide entry-level jobs and upward mobility via career ladder resources. These investments have reduced the overall cost burden of care on a national basis while addressing disparities in low-income communities by providing increased access to care and employment opportunities. Project funding provides for expansion of services, construction and improvement of new or existing space, investments in job training, workforce development and career ladder programs as well as computer systems and medical equipment. Years of disinvestment in low income communities have led to non-existent, fractured, and sub-par healthcare services in many of America’s most challenged communities. This is why the federal government established the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program to spur investment in these low-income communities. In addition some states also offer NMTC which can be paired with the federal tax credits. Investments made by CHHS are orchestrated with local stakeholders, community resources and borrowers to address the specific job, workforce, healthcare, and wellness needs of the community. Projects must be located in areas which require access to health care services and are aligned with community plans and needs. Projects must demonstrate and commit to high levels of hiring of low income people and residents of low-income communities, and to sustained engagement with local workforce development organizations that help low income people qualify for entry level positions and advance to higher skill positions. To date, CHHS received $183 MM of Federal NMTC allocation as well as $5 MM in state NMTC, which have been invested into multiple projects with total project costs of over $215 MM. These projects have created over 1,400 construction jobs and over 800 permanent positions. All of the projects are in highly distressed low-income communities. Most are in areas that have been federally designated as medically underserved and close to 70% are federally qualified health centers that are designed to predominately serve low income people and others without access to care. The make-up of the projects is split 50/50 between urban and rural communities. CHHS is continuously working to invest in projects that fit our profile.
