The Illinois legislature created the Hospital and Healthcare Transformation Capital Investment Grant Program at 20 ILCS 3105/20i. Pursuant to that legislation, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and the Capital Development Board (CDB) published joint rules governing the program. The rules are found at 71 Ill. Admin. Code Part 44. This NOFO is intended to implement the program pursuant to the statute and rules. The Illinois Healthcare Transformation Program is authorized at 305 ILCS 5/14-12 (d-5)(2).
The Illinois Healthcare Transformation Program (the “HTC Services Program”) funds initiatives that serve an underserved community based on a community needs assessment and that consist of collaboratives of providers across the care and community spectrum, including preventative care, primary care, specialty care, hospital services, mental health, and substance abuse services, as well as community-based entities that address the social determinants of health.
