The combined $150,000 will allow AIDS Help to begin rehabilitating a residential complex acquired with funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Albert McCarthy, housing committee chairman for AIDS Help, said a HUD grant of $940,000 paid the full cost of the housing. He said it's hoped the housing will be ready for occupancy by AIDS Help clients by late summer.
Helmerich Foundation President W. H. Helmerich III said in granting the money:
"Although we contribute principally to humanitarian and educational causes in Oklahoma, we made an exception in this case because of the high rate of HIV infection in the Florida Keys and AIDS Help's exemplary record."
