S 336 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOH to establish Community Health Center Integrated Care Loan Program; appropriates funds for purpose of loan program.

New Jersey's S 336 creates a zero-interest loan program to help community health centers integrate new care services. It directly affects federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), behavioral health clinics, and substance use facilities by providing short-term loans for staffing, training, licensure fees, and infrastructure needed to add primary care, behavioral health, or substance abuse services. Centers must apply with detailed budgets, proof of financial need, and patient population data, with priority given to those serving high Medicaid populations. The program is funded through state appropriations and aims to make integrated care more accessible without requiring upfront capital from providers.
