AOF Closes $12M NMTC Allocation to Support Sun Life Family Health Center’s New Flagship Facility

Accion Opportunity Fund (AOF) is pleased to announce the closing of a $12 million New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation to support the construction of the Sun Life Family Health Center’s new flagship facility, which will be an approximately $67 Million, 111,558 sq. ft. Federally Qualified Health Center located at 1877 E. Florence Boulevard in Casa Grande, Arizona.

The new facility will have space for primary care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, dentistry, behavioral health, and pharmacy. The facility will also provide space for physician, nursing, and dentistry residency training programs. As an important anchor in the local community, Sun Life is vital to the care of individuals across all income scales.

“This facility will continue and expand the provision of essential health services to the residents of the Casa Grande community.  We are pleased to provide NMTCs to support the creation of quality jobs and the provision of high-quality healthcare for all” said Tom Dolan, AOF’s Vice President, NMTCs.   

A huge debt of gratitude to: our legal partners, Jonathan Kaden, Esq.  and Amir Muhammad, Esq. at Dentons; our financing partners, Capital One, National Association, Clearinghouse CDFI, Grow America, Magnolia Bank, Bank of America, and the generous charitable support from the many Sun Life Family Health Center donors.  

AOF is very pleased to be a part of this terrific project.
