This funding supported the Hartford Gay and Lesbian Health Collective during the recent monkeypox outbreak to provide outreach and prevention messaging to those at high risk for the virus, which disproportionately affected people of color. Grant funds also supported increased staff time and expanded clinic hours dedicated to monkeypox response, as well as maintaining a virus information page on the organization’s website, developing outreach materials, and providing vaccines to men who were at risk for monkeypox.
