Our CHC Invest campaign calls on Congressional leaders to not only increase immediate funding for health centers to $9B in FY24, but also scale investments in health center infrastructure, workforce, and innovation over the next seven years to reach a total of $30B by 2030. This will ensure FQHCs can fulfill their mission of providing services to critically underserved populations, including veterans, students, individuals experiencing homelessness, public housing residents, and agricultural workers. For detailed information on our asks read below or see our CHC Invest and CHC Invest: 30 by 30 one-pagers.
In addition to more than 18 months of consistent advocacy on Capitol Hill, we recently delivered a letter from more than 500 national health care organizations that urges Congress to increase funding for community health centers through the Community Health Center Trust Fund reauthorization.
Current funding for the CHC Trust Fund runs out at the end of 2024 and we need Congress to take immediate action to ensure health centers can continue to serve the more than 31 million patients they provide care to each year.
