The community health center program posted a 2% program-wide loss in 2025, before H.R. 1 Medicaid cuts take full effect, FQHC Associates reported in March 2026. Medicaid is 43% of health center revenue nationally, and the $4.6 billion Community Health Center Fund runs only through December 2026.

The loss came despite the fund's largest increase in a decade.

Key points

  • The program posted a 2% loss in 2025, before H.R. 1 cuts take effect.
  • The $4.6 billion Community Health Center Fund runs only through December 2026.
  • Medicaid is 43% of health center revenue nationally.
  • The loss came despite the fund's largest increase in a decade, so grants alone cannot close the gap.
