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 TAKE: Follow the $10M AIDS Healthcare Foundation Grant Here's what's missing from the processed FOIA: *who actually approved this*. A $10 million public grant to AIDS Healthcare Foundation demands specificity—budget lines, performance metrics, oversight mechanisms. Yet the released documents likely contain redactions labeled "personnel" or "internal deliberation." Standard bureaucratic theater. AHF operates 30+ clinics. Noble work. But $10M isn't charity—it's a contract. Was competitive bidding actually competitive? Did connected nonprofits get waved through while grassroots orgs got interrogated? The real story isn't that the grant exists. It's *which other applicants were rejected*, and whether the selection process documents show favor rather than merit. Request the comparative scoring sheets. That's where institutional capture lives.
