This resolution approves Amendment No. 2 to an agreement between the Department of Public Health (DPH) and Instituto Familiar de la Raza, Inc., significantly extending its term and increasing funding for a vital health access point service. The agreement's term is extended by three years, now running from January 1, 2023, through June 30, 2030. The total contract amount is increased by $9,242,130, bringing the new not-to-exceed total to $17,087,730.

The funding supports the Latinx Health Access Point (LHAP), located at 1663 Mission Street, San Francisco, which provides comprehensive, culturally competent services to the Latinx community. These services include integrated HIV, HCV, and STD testing; linkage to PrEP, HIV care, HCV/STD treatment, and primary care; harm reduction for substance use (including syringe access and overdose prevention); condom distribution; community engagement; health education; and basic needs assistance. Key partners in service delivery include Mission Neighborhood Health Center (MNHC) and San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF). The amendment also outlines annual funding of $2,257,022 for each of the extended fiscal years (FY2026-2027 through FY2029-2030) from the General Fund. This initiative aims to reduce new HIV infections, eliminate HCV, lower STD rates, and address racial disparities in health outcomes.
