Module 3: Program Clearinghouse

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides funds to cities, states, and rural communities to implement HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment activities.

The program focuses on expanding access to primary care and support services for uninsured and underinsured people who are living with HIV/AIDS. Another main focus of the program is to provide funding, support, and technical assistance to community-based organizations that are developing innovative models of prevention and treatment.
