HHS' Office of Minority Health has made grants to faith-based organizations participating in the Impacto Latino Coalition Project. This project addresses the need for effective prevention programming to change community norms and increase community support for behaviors known to reduce the risk of HIV infection among Latino New Yorkers. OPHS' Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs provides grants to support health, education and social services for pregnant and parenting adolescents at the community level. The office also provides grants to support abstinence education programs aimed at young adolescents who are not sexually active. The office has nine grants with faith-based organizations.
States allocate the dollars to local agencies, many of which are faith-based.
Faith-based organizations including Catholic Charities and the Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation are recipients of these funds.
