Luciano Orsini, Board President, said, "We are always seeking new dollars to continue our fight to adequately fund needed services for those living with HIV/AIDS. We are proud of this recent success in obtaining new monies and take pride in distributing all of it directly to our community providers."
The targeted populations to be served are communities of color with special emphasis on helping women and children in these communities. In addition, small funding grants totaling over $73,000 were announced for: 1) underwriting a detailed needs assessment to better understand the barriers to dental care in the Latino and African-American communities; 2) developing a curriculum for faith-based communities in prevention and care; 3) designing standards for interpretation for case management training; and 4) funding specific support services to women and children. Award letters were sent to all agencies this past Friday, December 3, 1999.
Bill Nason, Treasurer of the Board, stated, "TPAC will continue to cut costs and increase service dollars to consumers in the most efficient way we can."
