The mission of the California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) is to help eligible and creditworthy non-profit and public health facilities reduce their cost of capital, and promote important California health access, healthcare improvement and cost containment objectives by providing cost-effective tax-exempt bond, low-cost loan, and direct grant programs. CHFFA issues revenue bonds to assist qualified private nonprofit corporations or associations, counties, and hospital districts in financing or refinancing the construction, equipping or acquiring of health facilities. CHFFA also administers the Children's Hospital Program established by Proposition 61 of 2004 and Proposition 3 of 2008, the Cedillo-Alarcon Clinic Grant Program of 2000, the Anthem WellPoint Grant Program of 2004 and the Health Expansion Loan Program II.
