THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ACCELERATION TOWARDS ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC: A PLAN FOR AMERICA. NHCLC COMES ON THE HEELS OF CAI'S WORK AS A NATIONAL PROVIDER OF CAPACITY BUILDING ASSISTANCE FOR HIGH-IMPACT HIV PREVENTION, WHICH ENDED THIS YEAR AND FOR WHICH WE SUPPORTED CLINICAL PROVIDERS AND HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS (HCOS) IN IMPLEMENTING HIGH-IMPACT PREVENTION (HIP) STRATEGIES TO INCREASE RATES OF LINKAGE TO CARE, RETENTION IN CARE, AND ADHERENCE.

DURING THIS TIME, 33 ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN ACTIVE MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM, AND 72 OVERALL PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED. THIS HAS LED TO OUR ABILITY TO INCREASE REFERRALS TO PARTNER AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS BY 700% IN YEAR 4, AND TO OUR PROVISION OF 20 NEW MINI-GRANT AWARDS TO SUPPORT INITIATIVES BY LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. CAI'S COMMUNITY APPROACHES TO REDUCING STIS (CARS) CDC INITIATIVE SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT STI/HIV DISPARITIES AMONG AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LGBTQ IDENTIFIED ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS AGES 15 TO 24 IN BUFFALO, NY. THE FOUNDATION OF CARS IS A COMMUNITY ACTION BOARD (CAB) FRAMEWORK, WHICH EMPOWERS COMMUNITIES TO ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES. A MAJOR SUCCESS IN YEAR TWO OF THIS PROGRAM WAS THE UTILIZATION OF CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING (CPS) AND ITS TOOLS AS OUR VEHICLE FOR EVALUATION AND MAINTAINING CAB ENGAGEMENT.
