What they're not telling you: MuckRock users can file, duplicate, track, and share public records requests like this one. Subject: Freedom of Information Act Request: $10,000,000 Grant to AIDS Healthcare Foundation Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records: All agreements with AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) for any HUD funds or grants, including but not limited to the TEO grant for $10,000,000. All communications HUD had with ANYONE concerning or about the grant of TEO monies to AHF, whether the communication occurred before or after the grant of funds.

The Take

Jordan Calloway · Government Secrets & FOIA

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation just got handed ten million federal dollars, and nobody's asking the obvious question: *who decided this, and why?* FOIA processed it, which means the paperwork exists. But processed doesn't mean transparent—it means bureaucrats checked the box. Here's what we know: AHF operates clinics, distributes PrEP, runs advocacy campaigns. Legitimate work. But a $10M grant isn't ceremonial. That's leverage. That's influence. That's access to decision-makers most nonprofits will never touch. The real story isn't that the grant happened. It's *which federal agency issued it*, *what year*, and *whether competing organizations even got a seat at the table*. Did HHS run a competitive process? Did AHF lobby for this specific amount? What's the grant tied to—policy compliance, data collection, political alignment? I've filed for the actual grant agreement, the RFP materials, and the evaluation committee minutes. Because "processed" FOIA doesn't mean "answered." It means the government released redacted photocopies and called it transparency. The money's real. The accountability is still missing.
