Texas Civil Money Penalty (CMP) Funds

The Civil Money Penalty (CMP) Reinvestment program accepts applications for grants to improve the quality of life and care of nursing facility residents.

The program specifically funds projects outside the normal operations of facilities, focusing on:

• Support for residents in facilities facing closure or decertification.
• Assistance with resident relocation costs.
• Enhancement of resident and family councils for quality care assurance.
• Facility improvement initiatives and training for staff to boost care quality.
• Activities aimed at improving residents' quality of life, social interactions, and minimizing loneliness.
• Support for in-person visitation aids.

This grant program emphasizes projects that directly or indirectly benefit nursing facility residents, ensuring that CMP funds are utilized for impactful quality improvement initiatives.
