Rep. Steve Rothman announces $5 million HIV Emergency Relief Project Grant
Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ) announced a $5 million HIV Emergency Relief Project Grant for Hudson County Wednesday that could provide funds for low income and under-insured people living with the HIV or AIDS.
“These funds will improve care for low income and under insured people living with HIV/AIDS,” said Rothman. “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.”
Horizon Foundation will fund clinics
The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey has launched Phase 2 of its Health Center Initiative to support clinics in New Jersey that expand access to health care for the state’s uninsured and underserved residents. The $2 million, two-year grant initiative will provide funding to facilitate access to primary and specialty care.
Federally Qualified Health Centers, free/volunteer clinics, and independent clinics are eligible to apply. Online applications are being accepted until Mar. 15 at 5 p.m. In 2006, the Foundation created Health Center Initiative Phase 1 to expand access to primary health care by providing $5 million over five years.
