What happened

HIV Alliance, an organization serving people living with HIV in rural Oregon, relies heavily on annual grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The status of the federal contract for the new fiscal year was initially unclear, leading to uncertainty regarding the continuation of services. Federal officials later confirmed that funding would be extended.
