Lawndale Christian Health Center Claimed Unallowable Costs Under Recovery Act Grants.

摘要

Lawndale Christian Health Center (Lawndale) is a community-based nonprofit organization founded in 1984 and dedicated to improving the health of Lawndale and the neighboring communities on Chicagos West Side. Lawndale provides primary care health services without regard to a patient's ability to pay and serves as a community resource for eliminating health disparities. HRSA awarded Lawndale approximately $13.6 million in CIP, FIP, IDS, and NAP grant funds, with grant performance periods starting as early as March 1, 2009, and ending as late as December 8, 2011. Lawndale claimed approximately $6 million under the grants as of March 31, 2011. Our objective was to determine whether costs claimed by Lawndale were allowable under the terms of the grant and applicable Federal regulations.
