Flatbush Life 10/25 -

A Brooklyn non-profit community based organization (CBO) was recently awarded over $1 million in federal funds to help low-income HIV/AIDS patients.

The Church Avenue Merchants Block Association (CAMBA), 1720 Church Avenue, received the $1.3 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer their Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program.

“Having a stable home can make all the difference in staying healthy and living with this disease,” said HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson in awarding the money.

CAMBA Executive Director Joanne Oplustil said the money, which will go toward three years of programs, is a continuation of funding for the same program the CBO has been doing for several years. continue reading...
