Three Texas-based HIV/AIDS service organizations are among the 21 organizations across nine Southern states to receive a total of $1.4 million in funds by AIDS United.
The Texas recipients are Cardea Services in Austin; Legacy Community Health Services in Houston; and Valley AIDS Council in Halingen.
The funds were distributed through AIDS United’s Southern REACH Initiative, or Regional Expansion of Access and Capacity to Address HIV/AIDS. The REACH Initiative’s addresses and shapes effective policies and builds capacity among local organizations challenging HIV in the South and the disparities and social injustices that further fuel the epidemic.
Now in its tenth year, REACH is managed by AIDS United and funded by the Ford Foundation.
Grantees focus on important issues such as voter mobilization, expanding legal services in the area of housing and employment discrimination and combating unjust HIV criminalization laws.
