Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a grant from the Tennessee Department of Health and Human Services and the Metropolitan Board of Health to provide for the prevention, surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and to administer a Minority AIDS Initiative program. The funding is meant to provide “payer of last resort” resources.
The grant was first approved by the Metropolitan Council through Resolution No. RS2025-1084.
The proposed amendment would increase the grant amount by $1,261,658 from $857,721 to $2,119,379. The added resources would add funds for the HIV/AIDS program for Fiscal Year 2026. There is no cash match for this grant amount.
