The US Department of Housing and
Urban Development has awarded Nashua a $1.43 million Housing Opportunities for
Persons with AIDS grant. The money, part of a three-year funding cycle, will go
to the Southern New Hampshire HIV/AIDS Task Force under its Harbor Homes
program; the city will receive a portion to cover administrative costs.
The Public Health & Community
Services department is in charge of distributing the funds; the grant will
provide housing assistance to 30 AIDS-affected households, said Lori Wilshire,
alderman-at-large.
Nashua’s aldermen also accepted a
$149,000 grant from the state’s Health & Human Services Department for STD
and HIV control. That money will be used to provide testing and treatment
services for residents, and it will help support clinic operations and an
outreach van.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is

virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
