$418,000 in Emergency Rural Health Care
Grant Funding Available to Montana
Communities
BOZEMAN, Mont., April 12, 2022 – United States Department of Agriculture Rural
Development (USDA RD) Montana State Director Kathleen Williams today
announced that the Department is continuing to accept Emergency Rural Health
Care program applications to help rural communities expand their capacity to
provide immediate relief to address the economic conditions arising from the
COVID-19 emergency.
The funding is being made available under the Emergency Rural Health
Care's Track One: Recovery Grants program. The grants allow public bodies,
community-based nonprofits, and federally-recognized Tribes to provide immediate
relief to address the economic conditions arising from the COVID-19 emergency
and to support immediate health care needs. These funds may also be used to
help prepare for a future pandemic event or to increase access to quality health
care services and improve community health outcomes in Montana.
“USDA Rural Development Montana still has $418,000 available in Emergency
Rural Health Care grant funding,” Williams noted. “These monies will help
Montana's rural hospitals and local communities find solutions to address
immediate health care needs.”
Facilities and projects supported through this grant must be located in Montana's
rural areas with populations of 20,000 or fewer.
"In Montana's rural communities, where medical infrastructure and staffing may be
sparse, these investments play a critical role in creating the access and resources
that our rural communities deserve,” added Williams.
Applications must be submitted to the USDA Rural Development Montana State
Office in Bozeman and will be accepted until all funds are expended.
Information, including eligibility requirements, may be found on page 44332 of the
Aug. 12, 2021 Federal Register.
