Summary

Nashville legislation would approve Amendment 2 to the Ryan White Part A HIV Emergency Relief grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Administered by the Metro Board of Health for the March 2026–February 2027 grant period, the amendment adds $71,832, increasing total federal funding from $4,497,148 to $4,568,980, with no required Metro match. The funding supports HIV prevention, surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, and a Minority AIDS Initiative through seven community partners. The amendment authorizes the mayor to execute updated terms; services are expected to end when the grant expires.
