Memphis Funds HIV Support & Student Internships

Memphis just poured nearly $6 million into local nonprofits and schools tackling homelessness, HIV/AIDS support, and community development—40 groups in total, including 10 funded by federal dollars. Hope House Day Care Center leads with nearly $2 million to support housing for HIV/AIDS patients and families, while FriendsForAll secures over $700K for free or low-cost services. With Shelby County reporting 31 new HIV cases per 100K residents in 2022, this funding is a vital step forward. Plus, four local colleges will split $220K to launch internship programs, giving students real-world experience in community building.
