| On October 22, 2024, the City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance.
I. Accept and appropriate $345,283 from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Services Grant.
This grant is to support HIV prevention staff, testing supplies, advertising, and promotion. This funding expands access to HIV treatment and prevention services in a clinical setting, as well as increases our capacity to provide sexually transmitted infection (STI) services, through the creation of an express clinic model. This grant provides funding for one Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Navigator, one Nurse, and one Health Promotion Worker, to prevent layoffs and maintain a total of 52 full-time employees. |
