View Award Description

South Side Help Center Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Project - SSHC, is requesting $470,000 a year in annual HIV prevention program continuation funding over a five-year grant period. Funding would support an HIV prevention portfolio of services corresponding with the goals of the CDC PS21-2102 funding initiative for Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) ages 13 to 29 and Black High-Risk Heterosexuals (HRH), primarily cisgender Black heterosexual women, ages 25 to 49 on Chicago’s South Side. All proposed CDC HIV prevention services will be integrated with SSHC’s existing services, have clear client flow to one another, and operate out of SSHC’s current CDC HIV prevention program, the Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Project (CHIP), including a drop-in center safe space with an alternating schedule for both targets. Hereafter this integration of proposed services and interventions will be referred to as “CHIP” for the purpose of this application. All proposed CDC HIV prevention services will be integrated with SSHC existing services, have clear client flow to one another, and operate out of the planned safe space for BMSM and Black HRH. Additional services include mobile and on-site testing, participating in several large-scale testing events, integrated STI screenings, ARTAS counseling, Personal Cognitive Counseling, d-Up: Defend Yourself! behavioral intervention for BMSM and HRH at high-risk for HIV, an annual social marketing campaign, and condom distribution. External linkages to Primary HIV Medical Care and treatment, Essential Support Services (ESS) at both partner agencies and SSHC, and Partner Services Linkage at SSHC and with the Chicago Dept. of Public Health. Funding would support the goals and objectives of this initiative, SSHC would transition current outreach and testing staffers operating under its current CDC PS15-1502 to serve under this initiative. Additionally, funding would support an FTE Program Manager, and a percentage of time for the Director of Operations to serve as the project lead, primary contact, and funder and health department liaison. Other positions mentioned in this proposal are already funded under other resources but are integral to the success of the proposed program, including the Early Intervention Specialist (EIS), Medical Case Manager(s) (MCM), Non-Medical Case Managers (NMCM) funded through Ryan White Part A and B (RW) and the Physician/Medical Director, Office Administrator (OA), and Registered Nurse (RN) provided through SSHC’s affiliation and partnership with the AHF Healthcare Clinic (AHF-HCC). The AHF-HCC, centrally located near downtown but on the South Side, will be the primary linkage to primary medical care, PEP, nPEP, STI screenings, and pharmacy services for clients. Clients may also be linked to clinical and pharmacy services through MOUs with both SSHC and other external partners to provide comprehensive coverage of the HIV continuum of care for both clients living with HIV (treatment) and those vulnerable to HIV (prevention treatment), using biomedical approaches. These disparate strategies and approaches will work in consort to identify and link those living with HIV to care and treatment and those vulnerable to HIV to PrEP and, when appropriate, nPEP services, to reduce their risk for transmitting or acquiring HIV. If funded, SSHC’s primary program goal is to have achieved the following after five years: By June 30, 2026, SSHC will have helped reduced new HIV infections, improved health outcomes for 2625 YBMSM (n = 1522) ages 13 to 29 and HRH (n = 1103) ages 25 to 49, reduced HIV disparities among 2625 YBMSM and HRH, and reduced YBMSM and HRH deaths among those with HIV will be measurably reduced achieving at least 50% of all NOFO requirements in year one and 100% every year thereafter.
