Ryan White Title III HIV Capacity Development and Planning Grants - Project Renewal, Inc. (Project Renewal, PRI) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and one of the largest providers of comprehensive services to people experiencing homelessness in New York City. PRI’s project proposal for FY 2022 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C Capacity Development Program titled, HIV Behavioral Health Integration Among Priority Populations, would enhance HIV care coordination between Ryan White Supportive Services, Psychiatry, and substance use treatment programs, under the category of HIV Care Innovation. As a provider of healthcare to the homeless, Project Renewal is qualified to treat those New Yorkers at risk of and living with HIV. PRI operates five shelter-based primary care clinics as well as three mobile medical vans serving fourteen partner organizations, all of which are designated as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). All clinics within Project Renewal’s shelter and Mobile medical vans are licensed under New York State’s Article 28. The proposed program would further build organizational capacity to address needs among this high-risk population, taking another key step towards ending the HIV epidemic. Our proposed project, HIV Behavioral Health Integration Among Priority Populations, targets NYC residents served by PRI primary care services at our sites, partner sites, all of which are touched by behavioral health and HIV treatment programs. Increased integration supports capacity to engage clients in linkage and retention in HIV care. Clients are high risk for HIV transmission and infection, including people experiencing homelessness and people who inject drugs (PWID). Data shows racial/ethnic disparities in HIV rates, Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino communities continue to be bare the greatest burdens of HIV, poverty, housing insecurity/homelessness, and with limited community resources for health and medicine. PRI is requesting the funding amount of $150,000 for the one-year period of performance and funding preference under Qualification 2: Underserved Populations.
