Description
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is accepting applications on behalf of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for the Ryan White Part B Minority AIDS Initiative in the Dallas HIV Service Delivery Area. The program serves incarcerated and recently released racial and ethnic minorities living with HIV. It aims to increase enrollment in the Texas HIV Medication Program and connect clients to outpatient HIV care and community support services so care continues after release.
Funded work centers on transitional discharge planning for clients within 180 calendar days before or after release. Grantees must provide health education/risk reduction and outreach services; emergency financial assistance for urgent food needs and medical transportation may be provided to eligible recently released clients. The Dallas service area comprises Collin, Cook, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro, and Rockwall counties.
