Family Health Centers, Inc., 2009 Recovery Act Grant Costs Were Supported Most of the Time.

摘要

Family Health Centers, Inc. (FHC), is a nonprofit corporation that operates a network of seven health centers throughout Louisville, Kentucky. It was established by the Louisville Board of Health to provide primary and preventive health care and is funded primarily by patient service revenues and Federal grants. During fiscal years (FY) 2009 through 2011, HRSA awarded grant funding to FHC totaling approximately $14 million. Of this amount, HRSA awarded approximately $11.4 million in section 330 grant funding to supplement FHC health center operations. HRSA awarded the remaining $2.6 million in FY 2009 under the Recovery Act, which included approximately $1.8 million under a CIP grant to remodel the Louisville-Portland health center and $820,587 under an IDS grant to increase access and reduce barriers to health care within the Louisville-Portland service area. Our objective was to determine whether FHCs grant expenditures were allowable under the terms of the Recovery Act grants and applicable Federal regulations.
