HHS Launches $100 Million Pilot Program for Hepatitis C Testing and Research

HHS Secretary
Secretary Kennedy announced available funding for communities with large homeless populations.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a $100 million pilot program for Hepatitis C (HCV) research in communities severely affected by homelessness. The department explained that HCV overlaps with other chronic health issues such as addiction and mental illness. The agency encouraged states and community-based organizations to apply for the funding.

“HHS is delivering on our promise to the American people for a healthier, brighter future,” said Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Through this pilot program, we are launching a comprehensive, integrated care model that not only cures HCV but also tackles critical risk factors like substance use, mental health challenges, and homelessness head-on.”

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

  • For Secretary Kennedy to seek the Lord as he heads the Department of Health and Human Services.
  • For wisdom for U.S. health officials as they seek a cure for HCV alongside addressing addiction, mental health, and homelessness.
