The $25,000 award will be used to reduce financial and concrete barriers to care for patients living with HIV at Chase Brexton’s Mt. Vernon, Columbia, Glen Burnie, and Security Square Centers. This includes financial assistance for eviction prevention and security deposits; nutrition and food assistance; preventing utility turnoffs; and one-time urgent needs such as dental and eye care, and insurance premiums.
The funds are part of more than $1.1 million that the organization awarded to 51 organizations nationwide, an increase from $925,000 last year.
