The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration funds construction, renovation, expansion, equipment, and modernization of health care facilities and health care-related facilities under CFDA 93.887, with the most recent grant award dated August 1, 2011.

This program is no longer actively issuing new grants. The funding pipeline ended over 14 years ago, with the last award made in August 2011. Award activity was concentrated in 2008–2010, when the program issued 1,954 grants across those three years, but has been inactive since. The program distributed 4,200 total awards between April 1999 and August 2011, with $2.45 billion in combined federal dollars obligated. Recent representative awards include a $3.96 million project for health care facility modernization (September 2010), a $2.72 million facility expansion project (September 2010), and a $1.34 million renovation project (September 2010). Typical award magnitudes in the recent cycle ranged from under $50 thousand to approximately $4 million, with most awards clustered between $200 thousand and $800 thousand.

The portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (83 percent, 3,488 awards) with a secondary share of Block Grants (17 percent, 712 awards). Funding was concentrated entirely within the Health Resources and Services Administration, which issued 4,195 awards valued at $2.45 billion federal dollars; an additional 5 awards carried no federal dollars obligated.

No recent grant opportunities are posted or have been posted since 2011. Organizations seeking health care facility capital funding should evaluate alternative federal programs, as this line has issued no new grants in over a decade.
