What it does

HIV patients get more emergency help and services The county receives $4.3 million more this year to pay for emergency HIV care, housing help, and medical visits for people living with HIV in Hennepin County.

The bigger picture

Local nonprofits and clinics serve more patients Health centers and nonprofits that work with HIV patients will have more money to hire staff, open clinic hours, and expand services to underserved neighborhoods.

What to watch

Funding only covers one year of services This grant runs from March 2026 through February 2027; programs must reapply next year, so services could shrink if federal money drops or priorities shift.
