Health Director Bond: RFP error corrected.
More than 20 representatives from nonprofits that help people living with HIV/AIDS sent a letter to the mayor criticizing the city for changing how it handles a federal grant program — and warning the Elicker administration against “dismantling” a system of care they say works just fine.
The Health Department has responded by correcting an error regarding who is eligible to apply for these funds, and by arguing that centralizing oversight with city government is necessary to bring this program into compliance with federal requirements.
