On March 9th, the New York State Department of Health (DOH) and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for up to $700 million in capital funding through the Health Care Facility Transformation Program (HCFTP) for health care providers located in Kings County. The funding is part of the Governor’s $1.4 billion initiative to revitalize distressed communities in Brooklyn.
Proposals will be expected to fulfill the recommendations of the recently-released Northwell Health study of financially unstable hospitals in central and northeastern Brooklyn. Awards will be made by DOH on a non-competitive and discretionary basis, and there will be no appeals process.
Applications are due May 5th, and awards are expected to be announced by June 30th. Contracts are anticipated to start on July 14thand last for up to five years. Questions may be submitted to Joan Cleary-Miron at kingscounty@health.ny.gov through March 24th.
A summary of the RFA is attached. The full RFA is available on the Grants Gateway here.
