WASHINGTON D.C. — Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and
Ron Wyden anunció que Oregon está recibiendo $39,664,611 de los Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve public health infrastructure
and $2,347,258 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
to support the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS.

“It’s vital that patients and their families receive
timely, quality care and crucial wraparound supports,” said Merkley.
“This funding from the CDC and HUD will provide immense benefits to
Oregonians by investing in both health care infrastructure and supporting
housing needs-ensuring Oregonians can continue getting the care they
require.”

“These federal investments in public health and in
housing for Oregonians living with HIV/AIDS are both timely and essential for
quality of life in our state,” Wyden said. “Keeping Oregonians
healthy with access to the care and the housing they need must always be a top
priority, and I’ll keep battling for those funds in every part of the
state.”

subvención Workforce and Data Systems, financiada en parte por la American
Ley del Plan de Rescate, apoya las necesidades críticas de infraestructura de salud pública en todo
