ST. JOHN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH: COMMUNITY TO CLINIC TRANSGENDER PROGRAM - IN RESPONSE TO THE EXISTING EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA, GUIDANCE FROM THE LA COUNTY’S PROPOSED ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC PLAN, AND ALMOST A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSGENDER POPULATION, ST. JOHN’S PROPOSES A NEW INITIATIVE: COMMUNITY TO CLINIC TRANSGENDER PROGRAM (CCTP). UNDER THE CDC PS22-2209 OPPORTUNITY, ST. JOHN’S WILL EXPAND ITS CURRENT THP/TC TO ITS NEW AVALON HEALTH CENTER IN A DIFFERENT AREA OF SOUTH LA (TO MEET DEMAND AND PROVIDE EASIER ACCESS FOR OUR TRANSGENDER PATIENTS LIVING IN THE SOUTHEAST AREA OF SOUTH LA). ST. JOHN’S WILL WORK WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS) SUBCONTRACTORS (APAIT, UNIQUE WOMEN’S COALITION, AND IMPERIAL COURT OF LOS ANGELES), AS WELL AS OTHER TRANSGENDER CBOS TO DEVELOP A HOLISTIC COMMUNITY-TO-CLINIC SERVICE MODEL WHICH WILL PROVIDE HEALTH AND WELLBEING SERVICES FOR TRANSGENDER MEN AND WOMEN THAT INCLUDE CO-LOCATED HIV PREVENTION AND CARE; GENDER-AFFIRMING SERVICES INCLUDING HORMONE THERAPY AND OTHER PROCEDURES; STI TESTING AND TREATMENT; HEPATITIS TESTING, TREATMENT, AND VACCINATION; PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE; BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; AND CHRONIC DISEASE CARE.

CCTP IS ALIGNED WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES OF REDUCING THE NUMBER OF NEW HIV INFECTIONS, INCREASING THE PROPORTION OF PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR SEROSTATUS, AND ENSURING THAT PLWH ARE LINKED OR REENGAGED AND RETAINED IN CARE TO INCREASE VIRAL SUPPRESSION, THEREBY REDUCING HIV-RELATED HEALTH DISPARITIES. REQUESTING A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH CDC OVER 4 YEARS, ST. JOHN’S PROJECT TARGETS A KEY POPULATION FOR ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC IDENTIFIED BY ITS LOCAL JURISDICTION (ADULT TRANSGENDER PERSONS, ESPECIALLY TRANSGENDER WOMEN) AND ENCOMPASSES MULTIPLE HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY HIV IDENTIFIED BY THE CDC (LATINOS AND BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN). CCTP WILL ADDRESS HIV RISK BY DEVELOPING, IMPLEMENTING, AND EVALUATING A COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED COMMUNITY-TO-CLINIC MODEL THAT INCORPORATES VETTED, PROVEN AND MANDATORY STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS CRITICAL GAPS IN SERVICES TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, PREVENT AND RESPOND TO HIV, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THE TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS TO BE SERVED BY ENSURING THAT THE INTERVENTIONS BE DESIGNED, DEPLOYED AND ASSESSED FOR THEIR EFFICACY LARGELY BY TRANSGENDER PEERS.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) GRANTS FOR SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS CAPITAL PROGRAM

THE SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM (SAS CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM) WAS CREATED BY THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2005 (VAWA 2005), 34 U.S.C. 12511(C), AND IS PART OF THE FIRST FEDERAL FUNDING STREAM SOLELY DEDICATED TO THE PROVISION OF DIRECT INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE INCLUDE ADVOCACY, ACCOMPANIMENT (E.G., ACCOMPANYING VICTIMS TO COURT, MEDICAL FACILITIES, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, ETC.), CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT SERVICES, AND REFERRALS, AMONG OTHER SERVICES. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, SUCH SERVICES MAY BE PROVIDED TO ADULT, YOUTH, AND CHILD VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS OF SUCH VICTIMS, AND THOSE COLLATERALLY AFFECTED BY THE VICTIMIZATION. SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT FROM CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES FREQUENTLY CONFRONT UNIQUE CHALLENGES WHEN SEEKING ASSISTANCE, SUCH AS LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BARRIERS. CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO UNDERSTAND THESE CHALLENGES BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CULTURE, LANGUAGE, AND BACKGROUND OF VICTIMS FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHO IN TURN ARE MORE INCLINED TO SEEK SERVICES FROM SUCH ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE SAS CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM IS TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND EXPAND CULTURALLY SPECIFIC INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, WHICH SERVE A VITAL ROLE IN PROVIDING SERVICES THAT ARE RELEVANT FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.

PURPOSE: THE CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC) PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY-WIDE COMMITMENT TO THE GOAL OF ENDING HOMELESSNESS; PROVIDE FUNDING FOR EFFORTS BY NONPROFIT PROVIDERS, STATES, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO QUICKLY HOUSE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHILE MINIMIZING THE TRAUMA AND DISLOCATION CAUSED TO HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES BY HOMELESSNESS; PROMOTE ACCESS TO AND EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF MAINSTREAM PROGRAMS BY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES; AND OPTIMIZE SELF-SUFFICIENCY AMONG INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

RYAN WHITE TITLE III HIV CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING GRANTS

RYAN WHITE TITLE III HIV CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING GRANTS - ST. JOHN’S COMMUNITY HEALTH (SJCH) REQUESTS AN AWARD FROM THE HIV/AIDS BUREAU’S RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OF $150,000 TO SUPPORT THE AGENCY’S EFFORTS TO DIVERSIFY AND EXPAND ITS HIV/AIDS SERVICE STRUCTURE AND IMPROVE INTEGRATION OF COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV (PLWH). THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE HIV AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR 700 PLWH IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES AND COMPTON THROUGH INCREASED ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION MEDICINE CARE. THE PROPOSED SET OF ACTIVITIES WILL BE A COORDINATION/INTEGRATION OF HIV PRIMARY CARE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE PROJECT UNDER THE HIV CARE INNOVATION CATEGORY. OUR AIM IS TO BUILD UPON OUR HIV SERVICE STRUCTURE LEVERAGING OUR PAST AND CURRENT EXPERIENCE IMPLEMENTING PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO MORE EFFECTIVELY COORDINATE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH, FUNCTIONING, AND STABILITY OF OUR PATIENTS WITH HIV. SJCH IS A 27-SITE FQHC SYSTEM LOCATED MOSTLY WITHIN LOS ANGELES COUNTY’S SERVICE PLANNING AREA (SPA) 6—SOUTH LA—A LOW-INCOME AREA WHOSE POPULATION IS DISPROPORTIONATELY UNDERSERVED AND UN-/UNDERINSURED, AND EXPERIENCES SIGNIFICANTLY POORER HEALTH OUTCOMES OVERALL THAN MUCH OF THE REST OF THE COUNTY. SOUTH LA IS HOME TO 6,823 PLWH, NOT INCLUDING THE ESTIMATED 1,080 WHO DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE INFECTED. IN THE MOST RECENT 5-YEAR PERIOD FOR WHICH THERE IS AVAILABLE HIV SURVEILLANCE DATA, A TOTAL OF 273 NEW HIV CASE WERE DIAGNOSED IN SPA 6, REPRESENTING 9% OF NEW DIAGNOSES IN LA COUNTY, THE SECOND-HIGHEST RATE AMONG THE 8 SPAS IN 2023. HIV IS FAR LESS VISIBLE AND UNDERSTOOD IN SOUTH LA NEIGHBORHOODS. DUE TO PERVASIVE HIV-RELATED STIGMA IN SOUTH LA THAT RESULTS IN LOWER LEVELS OF TESTING, AS COMPARED WITH OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY WHERE INCOME LEVELS ARE HIGHER AND HIV TESTING IS A MORE CULTURALLY ACCEPTED PRACTICE, THE PREVALENCE RATE IS VERY LIKELY UNDERREPORTED. WITH A LINKAGE TO CARE RATE OF 73%, 72% FOR ENGAGED IN CARE, 70% RETAINED IN CARE, AND 62% ACHIEVING VIRAL SUPPRESSION, PLWH LIVING IN SOUTH LA HAVE COMPARATIVELY POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. PARTICULARLY CRITICAL TO IMPROVING PERFORMANCE ON THESE MEASURES IS EXPANSION OF AND INCREASED ACCESS TO EXISTING CULTURALLY COMPETENT SERVICES THAT ADDRESS SUD, MD, OR CO-OCCURRING SUD/MD (COD). BASED ON CURRENT PATIENT ASSESSMENTS, 510 IN 701 OF SJCH PLWH PATIENTS HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH AND/OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (MANY CO-OCCURRING). HOWEVER, ONLY 1 IN 5 OF THOSE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY LINKED TO BH CARE. SJCH’S COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION OF HIV PRIMARY CARE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (BH) SERVICES HIV CARE INNOVATION PROJECT, WILL CONSIST OF: (1) CONDUCTING START-UP ACTIVITIES NEEDED TO MORE EFFECTIVELY COORDINATE AND INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES WITH HIV PRIMARY CARE; (2) LAUNCHING A PILOT OF THE MODEL WE DEVELOP AND BEGINNING DATA COLLECTION, EVALUATION AND REPORTING ON MEASURES; (3) MONITORING OF PROGRESS AND SHARING OF PROJECT RESULTS WITH OTHER LOCAL ENTITIES INVESTED IN ADDRESSING THE HIV EPIDEMIC IN SOUTH LA COMMUNITIES AND BEYOND; AND (4) PRODUCING A SUSTAINABILITY PLAN FOR CONTINUITY OF HIV/BH CARE INTEGRATION TO BE EXPANDED TO SJCH’S SERVICE AREA IN THE SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES. SYSTEMATIC AND COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND TRAINING OF STAFF WILL UNDERPIN ACTIVITIES. BY THE END OF THE 12-MONTH PROJECT PERIOD, THESE EFFORTS WILL ALSO WILL HAVE FURTHER DEVELOPED THE COORDINATED HIV PROGRAMMATIC INFRASTRUCTURE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED IN PART WITH RYAN WHITE CARE ACT FUNDS AND WILL HAVE DETERMINED RELIABLE BASELINE FIGURES FOR CARE CONTINUUM INDICATORS AS THEY RELATE TO INTEGRATED BH SERVICES—I.E., VIRAL LOAD SUPPRESSION (VLS) AND RETENTION IN CARE (RIC)—AND WILL HAVE PROCESSES IN PLACE TO BEGIN TO ASSESS AND IMPROVE PROGRESS ON THESE AND CRITICAL BH MEASURES.

OFFERS EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL SUPPORT, MEDICAL, MENTAL, AND ORAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS. FAMILY CENTERS’ MULTI-FACETED NETWORK OF PROGRAMS GIVE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THE TOOLS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH A STRONG EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, OVERCOME PROBLEMS, CARRY ON HEALTHY PRODUCTIVE LIVES AND ACHIEVE PERSONAL SUCCESS. EACH YEAR, FAMILY CENTERS PROGRAMS SERVE MORE THAN 26,000 CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES. FAMILY CENTERS HEALTH CARE, A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, OFFERS JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITED, HIGH-QUALITY SERVICES THAT EMPLOY A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN THE PROVISION OF COMPREHENSIVE PHYSICAL, DENTAL AND MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. FAMILY CENTERS HEALTH CARE (FCHC) IS A SPECIAL POPULATION FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER WITH A 330(I) DESIGNATION FOR PUBLIC HOUSING PRIMARY CARE. SITES FOR FAMILY CENTERS HEALTH CARE ARE AT 111 WILBUR PECK COURT PUBLIC HOUSING COMMUNITY PROVIDING MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE, 20 BRIDGE STREET, AND 986 BEDFORD STREET FOR MENTAL HEALTH. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE 9 SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER SITES IN GREENWICH AND STAMFORD ALSO OFFERING PRIMARY CARE, MENTAL HEALTH, AND ORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. OUR NEWEST SITE OPENED IN FEBRUARY 2025 AT 75 HOLLY HILL IN GREENWICH IN CONJUNCTION WITH GREENWICH HOSPITAL/YALE NEW HAVEN HEALTH CARE. FAMILY CENTERS HEALTH CARE ASSUMED ADMINISTRATION OF THIS AMBULATORY CARE SITE PROVIDING PRIMARY CARE TO PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS, INTEGRATED MENTAL HEALTH, AND A TEACHING RESIDENCY PROGRAM. BY ADDING THIS SITE, WE NOW HAVE SPACE TO EXPAND OUR CURRENT DENTAL PROGRAM OPERATED OUT OF 111 WILBUR PECK COURT. OUR PLAN IS TO PROCURE DENTAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE NEW CENTER, EXPAND SERVICES AND MIGRATE 80 CLIENTS LIVING WITH HIV, BASICALLY DOUBLING OUR CURRENT CAPACITY. THIS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL SUPPORT ESSENTIAL ORAL HEALTH SERVICES. FAMILY CENTERS HEALTH CARE SERVED 3,779 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS IN 2024, PROVIDING 5,680 PRIMARY CARE VISITS, 11,350 MENTAL HEALTH/PSYCHIATRY VISITS, AND 1,609 ORAL HEALTH VISITS. FAMILY CENTERS HEALTH CARE IS PLANNING TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY/VISITS BY 49% WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL. WE ARE REQUESTING $150,000 FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD TO OBTAIN NEEDED DENTAL EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION, WITH PLANS TO APPLY FOR RYAN WHITE PART C EIS FUNDS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.

RYAN WHITE TITLE III HIV CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING GRANTS

RYAN WHITE TITLE III HIV CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING GRANTS - PROJECT TITLE: FY 22 PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT – DENTAL EQUIPMENT, APPLICANT ORGANIZATION NAME: ST. JOHN’S WELL CHILD AND FAMILY CENTER, ADDRESS: 808 W. 58TH STREET, LOS ANGELES, CA 90037, PROJECT DIRECTOR: MICHAEL BERAL, DDS, VOICE: 323.541.1600 EXT. 1010, FAX: 323.541.1601, MBERAL@WELLCHILD.ORG , WEBSITE: WWW.WELLCHILD.ORG, GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS REQUESTED: $150,000. ST. JOHN’S WELL CHILD AND FAMILY CENTER (ST. JOHN’S) IS A NETWORK OF 20 FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS (FQHC). WE HAVE PROVIDED COMPREHENSIVE HIV CARE AND TREATMENT FOR 14 YEARS. WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING AN AWARD FROM THE HIV/AIDS BUREAU’S RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF $150,000 FOR DENTAL EQUIPMENT FOR EXPANDING DENTAL SERVICE CAPACITY UNDER THE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY OF THE GRANT PROGRAM. THE PROPOSED EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO BE PURCHASED TO REFURBISH FOUR DENTAL OPERATORIES AT OUR WILLIAMS HEALTH CENTER, WHICH SHARES A SITE WITH ST. JOHN’S FLAGSHIP PRIME HIV CLINIC, WILL SPECIFICALLY IMPROVE THE GAP IN RATES OF ACCESS TO ORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR BLACK AND LATINX LOW-INCOME PLWH WHO ARE CURRENT OR FUTURE PATIENTS OF ST. JOHN’S. ST. JOHN’S SYSTEM OF CARE IS LOCATED IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES (LA), A HIGH-POVERTY AREA OF THE COUNTY WHOSE POPULATION IS DISPROPORTIONATELY UNDERSERVED AND UN-/UNDERINSURED, AND EXPERIENCES SIGNIFICANTLY POORER HEALTH OUTCOMES OVERALL THAN THE REST OF THE COUNTY. SOUTH LA IS HOME TO THE SECOND HIGHEST RATE OF HIV INFECTION IN LOS ANGELES, WITH 6,710 PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV (PLWH) IN THE AREA. PLWH IN SOUTH LA REMAIN CRITICALLY UNDERSERVED, DESPITE EFFORTS OF ST. JOHN’S AND OTHER LOCAL PROVIDERS. THEY EXPERIENCE DISPROPORTIONATE RATES OF HOUSING INSECURITY, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE MISUSE, AND OTHER SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BARRIERS TO CARE THAT IMPACT THEIR ABILITY TO STAY IN MEDICAL CARE AND ADHERE TO ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (ART) AND PARTICIPATE IN OTHER CRITICAL SERVICES SUCH AS OR AL HEALTH CARE. INTENSIVE MEDICAL CARE MANAGEMENT ADDRESSES THEIR HEALTH CARE, PSYCHOSOCIAL, HOUSING, AND OTHER NEEDS; REDUCES BARRIERS; AND IMPROVES THEIR RETENTION IN CARE AND ADHERENCE TO ART, WHICH ARE CRITICAL TO ACHIEVING VIRAL LOAD SUPPRESSION. PARTICIPATION IN ORAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES IS CRITICAL FOR PLWH, BECAUSE OF THE PREVALENCE OF ORAL DISEASES THAT OFTEN INDICATE PROGRESSION OF HIV DISEASE AND HOW ORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IMPACT PATIENTS’ ABILITY TO ADHERE TO THEIR HIV TREATMENT REGIMEN, THEREFORE INCREASING RISK OF DISEASE PROGRESSION AND UNDERMINING VIRAL SUPPRESSION. IN 2020 AND 2021, ONLY 25% OF ST. JOHN’S PLWH PATIENT POPULATION ACCESSED DENTAL SERVICES OVERALL, AND THE RATE AMONG PATIENTS AT OUR WILLIAMS SITE WAS EVEN LOWER, IN PART DUE TO OLDER AND FAILING OPERATORY EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE UTILIZATION OF DENTAL SERVICES AMONG PLWH, IMPROVE PATIENT EXPERIENCE BY REDUCING WAIT TIMES AND INCREASING COMFORT, AND ENSURE CONSISTENT QUALITY OF CARE. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO ENHANCE AND EXPAND ORAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES CAPACITY FOR PLWH THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF NEW DENTAL EQUIPMENT. OBJECTIVES ARE TO INCREASE AVAILABLE DENTAL APPOINTMENT SLOTS BY 25% BY REPLACING OUTDATED EQUIPMENT; INCREASE RATE OF PLWH MEDICAL PATIENTS WHO ACCESS DENTAL CARE BY 15% BY EXPANDING TARGETED OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES; AND ENSURE 90% OF DENTAL HIV PATIENTS AREE SATISFIED WITH THE CARE THEY RECEIVE. ST. JOHN’S PATIENTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY REPRESENTATIVE OF POPULATION GROUPS SEVERELY IMPACTED BY HIV/AIDS, NAMELY TRANSWOMEN, YOUNG MEN OF COLOR WHO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MEN, AND AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALES. ST. JOHN’S REQUESTS A FUNDING PREFERENCE, QUALIFICATION 2: UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS, WHICH DEMONSTRATES ST. JOHN’S DEDICATION TO PROVIDING PRIMARY CARE SERVICES TO UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO HIV-RELATED HEALTH SERVICES.
