Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 26BCC015 Public Health to Recognize $17, 500 from the Communicable Disease Branch of the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services for HIV Prevention
These funds are an amendment to the existing Integrated Targeted Testing Services (ITTS) grant provided through the Communicable Disease Branch of the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services. The additional $17,500.00 in funding supports expanded HIV prevention efforts, including targeted education, testing, and referral services during hours accessible to individuals at highest risk—particularly men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, and communities disproportionately impacted by HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
Please note that this amendment requires no additional county funds.
The Board of Health has approved this amendment.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This grant aligns with Strategic Goal 2: Health and Well-being for All
