Key takeaway The organization said about $450,000 a year is at stake for its HIV testing, outreach and treatment.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The potential loss of $450,000 in annual funding for HIV prevention services in the Twin Cities puts a critical safety net at risk for some of the area's most vulnerable populations. The Aliveness Project's community-based programs have been a cornerstone of HIV testing, outreach, and treatment in Minneapolis and surrounding areas for three decades. With the CDC's funding decision, the organization's ability to provide these essential services is now uncertain. The Minnesota Department of Health may receive the shifted funds, but it remains to be seen how this change will impact the delivery of prevention services on the ground. As the Aliveness Project works to develop a community-centered plan with state health officials, local residents and advocates must be vigilant in pressing federal and state leaders to prioritize HIV prevention and ensure that these critical services continue uninterrupted.
