Capital Link (CL) will use an NMTC allocation to provide financing to Community Health Centers (CHCs also known as “Federally Qualified Health Centers” (FQHCs)) located in the Hurricane Katrina Gulf Opportunity (GO) Zone. CHCs/FQHCs provide primary and preventive health care to low income and uninsured populations. NMTCs will be used to finance capital projects, such as new construction, expansion and rehabilitation of existing health center facilities, and major equipment purchases. The NMTC Allocation will enable CL to offer senior and subordinated debt products with flexible and non-traditional terms and conditions, which in turn will lower the cost of capital for health center projects and accelerate the expansion of medical capacity in low-income communities throughout the Hurricane Katrina GO Zone.
