The Ryan White Part A Care Services funding opportunity, issued by Public Health – Seattle & King County (PHSKC), is aimed at providing HIV-related care services to low-income individuals living with HIV in King, Snohomish, and Island counties. The goal is to improve health outcomes by achieving viral load suppression, reducing barriers to care, and enhancing treatment adherence. Approximately $5.6 million is available for the 12-month funding period, beginning March 1, 2025, with a portion designated for the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) to address disparities in affected minority populations.

Eligible applicants include public and nonprofit organizations with experience serving HIV-positive individuals. Applications must demonstrate the ability to provide culturally competent, accessible services and meet federal regulations, including confidentiality and ADA compliance. Proposals must outline services within defined categories, such as medical transportation, mental health, housing, and early intervention services. The application process is competitive, with an emphasis on program design, equity, quality management, and financial integrity.

Applications are due by October 31, 2024, at 11:59 PM, and must include an Agency Information Packet and Service Category Packet for each service applied for. The evaluation process will involve a review committee assessing each application based on capacity, diversity practices, data management, and alignment with program goals.
