Proposed activity: With the proposed funding, AP, Inc. will utilize the funding to support the costs of strategies to ensure inclusive care, which will include the incorporation of additional EMR modules to ensure the correct utilization of assessments and inclusive language and terminology, trainings for direct service staff, and cosmetic changes to AP, Inc.’s space to make it more welcoming and inclusive. Population group(s) to be served: The priority population that will be impacted by the proposed activity is transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, including Black and Latinx transgender women and other disproportionately impacted sub-populations in high-risk neighborhoods of Dallas County, TX. Among AP, Inc.’s clients, 75% are Black, 15% are Latinx, 5% are White, and 6% are classified as other, and 100% of clients live below the poverty line.
