Health Grants

Health Resources and Services Administration

This initiative will use an implementation science (IS) approach to adapt, document, and evaluate street medicine interventions for people with HIV. Street medicine is the provision of health services in unsheltered environments (such as streets, under bridges, in woods) where people reside. This emerging field of medicine and public health holds much promise to improve the health and quality of life of people with HIV. There is a need to understand core program components, strategies to scale interventions, implementation within the context of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP), and sustainable interventions in communities with variable amounts of resources. The initiative will consist of one capacity building provider, one evaluation provider, and 13 demonstration sites (all funded under separate notices of funding opportunity). DPD will assemble a HAB workgroup to advise on the development of the NOFO and implementation. Demonstration sites will: o Provide health services tailored to each person and their environment. o Retain an agile, interdisciplinary team consisting of medical, behavioral health, and social services staff who are skilled and experienced in the needs and barriers experienced by people who are unsheltered and can swiftly respond with appropriate services and resources. o Work closely with the evaluation and capacity building providers to (1) adapt and document intervention and implementation strategies and (2) collect data to evaluate effects of interventions on health and quality of life.
