HUDSON COUNTY — Rep. Steve Rothman (D-Fair Lawn), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Wednesday released a statement announcing $5 million in federal HIV Emergency Relief that will go to Hudson County.
“I am proud to announce the Department of Health and Human Services HIV Emergency Relief Project Grant of $5 million for Hudson County,” the congressman said on Friday. “These funds will improve care for low income and underinsured people living with HIV/AIDS. Every federal dollar that is brought back for important local projects like this one is one less dollar that the already overburdened local taxpayers have to take out of their pocket.”
