Ryan White Title III HIV Capacity Development and Planning Grants - Quality Home Care Service (QHCS) d/b/a Quality Comprehensive Health Center (QCHC) is requesting $149,985 in funding under the HIV Innovation category, Strategic Partnerships, to strengthen partnerships with organizations beyond the traditional healthcare setting including but not limited to homeless shelters, housing and employment services, and social service agencies to access hard-to-reach populations and provide a more whole person care support system. The focus will be on unhoused individuals/people experiencing homelessness with HIV. The proposed collaborations outlined in this proposal will help QCHC identify and address barriers to care, such as stigma, transportation, childcare, housing, and economic instability, which disproportionately affect people with HIV. By leveraging the trust and reach of these non-traditional partners, QCHC will create more effective, culturally competent, and sustainable pathways to re-engagement, ensuring that people with HIV receive the comprehensive care they need to achieve optimal health outcomes. QCHC will leverage its existing RWHAP Part A and Part C programs as well as its CDC-funded HIV screening/testing efforts to support the proposed Part C Capacity Development activities as it works to re-engage and link high acuity and hard to reach populations with comprehensive HIV care.
