Muslim Community And Health Center Of Wisconsin Inc.

Muslim Community And Health Center Of Wisconsin Inc. (MCHC Division) is a minority-owned, tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that acts primarily as a federal grant recipient (33% of recent awards as prime recipient) delivering culturally and linguistically appropriate primary care, behavioral health services, and refugee support to underserved immigrant and refugee communities. The organization holds minority-owned and Subcontinent Asian American-owned business designations but competes in the federal health services grant space rather than under traditional federal contracting set-asides.

MCHC's federal footprint centers on direct health services delivery and mental health expansion grants from the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization received a $1.3 million Health Center Program award (CFDA 93.224) from HHS Health Resources and Services Administration on August 1, 2026, running through July 31, 2027, to deliver primary care and behavioral health services across 33 Milwaukee ZIP codes serving refugees, low-income residents, minority communities, and immigrants from South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. MCHC also holds a completed Mental Health Initiative grant from HHS Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (awarded September 30, 2023, ultimate completion September 29, 2025) that supported expansion of mental health services for refugee and immigrant populations, including recent Afghan and Ukrainian refugees, with clinical capacity across children, geriatrics, marital counseling, suicide prevention, PTSD, substance abuse, domestic violence, and trauma counseling. In its sub-recipient role, MCHC has received sub-awards from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services under CFDA 93.268 (December 2025 and July 2024) and from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families for RSS, RMS, RHP, SOR, and ReMHI grants (October 2023).

The top four customer agencies account for 100% of recent awards: HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and HHS Administration for Children and Families (two awards each), HHS Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and HHS Health Resources and Services Administration. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2 million. Activity has been intermittent — three awards in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award (the current HRSA grant) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. MCHC operates as a direct-service health center and the Sakina Senior Center, serving medically underserved populations across nearly 40 percent of residents living below 200 percent of the federal poverty line, more than 7.5 percent uninsured, and 88,000 service-area residents born outside the United States with more than 52,000 speaking a language other than English or Spanish at home. The organization fields a multilingual and multicultural team, many of whom are themselves immigrants or refugees.
