The New York State Department of Health's AIDS Institute announces the release of a Request for Applications (RFA) to award funds to support a Community Service Program (CSP) to provide a broad spectrum of community-based services in Upper Manhattan. These services include outreach, HIV prevention, counseling, testing and linkage to care, case management, supportive and health-related services in Upper Manhattan — defined as the area north of 96th Street on both the east and west sides and the distinct communities of Central Harlem/Morning side Heights, East Harlem, and Washington Heights/Inwood.
Through this RFA, the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute proposes to support services consistent with the CSP model with the objectives of reducing transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and ensuring the delivery of comprehensive health-related and supportive services to individuals infected and affected by HIV and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) through:
Community-based leadership within Upper Manhattan in terms of representing and advocating for the community's HIV prevention and supportive service needs;
Outreach and HIV prevention services that address the needs of residents in diverse communities, including messages targeted to high risk populations and broad-based efforts to reach individuals who do not perceive themselves to be at high risk;
Direct services that ensure early access to, and continuous participation in prevention interventions, counseling and early testing for HIV, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and Hepatitis, and linkage to continuous health care and supportive services, with particular emphasis on addressing existing service gaps in Upper Manhattan communities.
Applications will be accepted from not for profit 501 c(3) health and/or human service organizations located in Upper Manhattan, as previously defined, with experience and expertise in providing community-based HIV/AIDS prevention, health-related and /or supportive services.
