NCHC transformed its headquarters facility in North Newark with a significant expansion and modernization that increased capacity and improved accessibility. The health center and administrative space grew from 12,500 square feet to 31,000 square feet, tripling the number of medical exam rooms (8 to 24) and doubling the dental suite (3 to 6 chairs). NCHC managed the project so that there was no interruption to health services at the location during construction. With 23,000 patient visits in 2012, the newly expanded facility expects to accommodate nearly 40,000 annual visits.
The project is an example of cooperation between local and Federal government and private funders. The City of Newark, which had leased the facility to NCHC for 25 years, transferred the property to NCHC for $1. A competitive Federal facility improvement grant, awarded in 2009, provides 55% of the project budget. The project had stalled while NCHC completed another renovation and worked to raised additional financing. In 2012, Reinvestment Fund and Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) engaged with NCHC and financed the construction and other project costs to get the project underway. The expansion was completed in 2015.
Reinvestment Fund announces a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Pre-Qualified Technical Energy Service Providers to expand our capacity in clean energy and energy efficiency projects. This effort aligns with our current work to expand our clean energy lending portfolio and broader sustainability impacts.
