The Coquille Indian Tribe is constructing a new 20,000 square-foot community health center, the Ko-Kwel Wellness Center (“KWC”), that will provide holistic care by integrating primary care, behavioral health, dental, and pharmacy services. The KWC will increase patient visits by fourfold, expanding services to the existing American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) population as well as the surrounding community. The Tribal and low-income community in the area currently face poverty and unemployment barriers, and thus have limited access to healthcare. To receive healthcare services as promised by the U.S. Government, AI/AN individuals often must drive three or more hours to an understaffed and over-utilized Indian Health Service facility. Frequently, they simply forego treatment. These newly provided services from the Coquille Indian Tribe’s project will improve access dramatically.
Roeder & Company, LLC facilitated the closing of a federal New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing for the construction of the facility, and sourced $12 million in federal NMTC allocation from Craft3, a regional nonprofit CDFI, with Wells Fargo as the tax credit investor.
