AUTHORIZE ACCEPTANCE OF HIV SERVICES GRANT FUNDING AND APPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) has authorized grants and agreements with the California Department of Public Health Office of AIDS (CDPH-OA) to reduce transmission of HIV in San Diego County for almost three decades.
Today's action requests the Board to authorize the acceptance of $7,592,529 in grant funds for High Impact Prevention and Surveillance Programs for Health Departments and $8,879,370 in grant funds for High Impact Prevention and Surveillance Programs for Health Departments - Ending the HIV Epidemic. Both grants are from the CDPH-OA and are for the period of August 1, 2024, through May 31, 2029. Lastly, today's action requests the Board authorize applications for future funding opportunities to support the prevention, testing, care, and treatment needs of those impacted by HIV.
This item supports the County of San Diego (County) vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically left behind, as well our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe, and thriving communities.

This item also supports the County Getting to Zero initiative by planning and allocating resources dedicated to services for residents who are living with or vulnerable to HIV.
