The South Carolina Department of Public Health (SCDPH) was awarded a $305,484 Formula Grant under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (CFDA 93.092) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will support projects that educate youth between 10 and 19 years old, as well as pregnant and parenting youth under 21, about abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV/AIDS. The program also aims to promote broader youth development through adulthood preparation subjects such as healthy relationships, financial literacy, and career success. As a state-level department of health, SCDPH will leverage this funding to implement evidence-based sexual health education curricula and youth development programs through partnerships with local health departments, schools, and community organizations across South Carolina.
