Howard Brown Health Center was one of 11 organizations to receive a new grant from the MAC AIDS Fund as part of its campaign to combat HIV infection rates among youth.

The nearly $200,000 grant will help support outreach programs at Howard Brown’s Broadway Youth Center.

HIV infection rates among 14-24 year olds continue to increase.

MAC AIDS Fund has given more than $130 in grants to organizations since 1994. See www.macaidsfund.org.
