As anyone who has followed the federal budget process knows, legislation that actually appropriates funds must be passed annually, but can take months to achieve final approval. This page will be updated with regular information about efforts to secure funding for Community Health Centers and other vital public health programs.
Every year, Congressional Champions of the Health Centers program lead a letter to the Appropriations Committee requesting additional funding. This page will be regularly updated with lists of who has signed these "Dear Colleague" letters. More detailed information is below, and will be updated as details become available.
