Federal Grant Award Summary

The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services received a $1.34 million project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Healthcare Systems Bureau under the HIV Care Formula Grants program (CFDA 93.917) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. This ADAP (AIDS Drug Assistance Program) Shortfall Relief award supports Missouri's coordinated system of care designed to ensure access to HIV medications and comprehensive medical services for low-income individuals living with HIV.

The grant funds support critical services including medication provision through the ADAP program, health insurance continuation assistance, and integrated care coordination that enables clients to achieve and maintain viral load suppression. By leveraging Missouri's coordinated care model, the award aims to improve overall health outcomes for HIV-positive individuals, with particular emphasis on sustaining the state's strong viral suppression rates—78% statewide and 92% among those actively receiving Ryan White Care services. These outcomes directly support the federal program objective of developing and enhancing access to comprehensive, high-quality HIV care and treatment for low-income populations while preventing HIV transmission.
