The drastic changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will result in confusion, instability and mass disenrollment of vulnerable families across the country. The ACA marketplaces provide essential health coverage to tens of millions of Americans. Over 24 million people obtained Marketplace coverage in 2025, reflecting record enrollment gains over the past decade. AANHPI communities have seen particularly meaningful coverage gains and lower uninsured rates since ACA implementation, with over 1.5 million AANHPI consumers enrolled through HealthCare.gov in recent years.

The AIDS movement has changed the way society thinks about the link between disease and social forces, the politics of public health and the importance of community involvement in programming, research, funding and policymaking. APIAHF’s HIV Program has a long history of addressing health inequities across all racial/ethnic communities, especially among at-risk, underserved, and vulnerable populations.

COVID-19 & INFLUENZA TUBERCULOSIS ELIMINATION OUTREACH HIV EDUCATION & OUTREACH PUBLIC HEALTH INITITATIVES — The HIV Program works to improve the quality and sustainability of HIV prevention programs across the United States, including its affiliated territories, and to decrease the barriers to accessing HIV services and care for high-risk and racial/ethnic minority populations. APIAHF’s HIV Program accomplishes this by providing capacity building assistance via one-to-one consultations, skills-building trainings, peer based coaching and mentorship opportunities, and referrals to culturally and linguistically competent resources.

CAPACITY BUILDING INITIATIVES 20 X 20 INITIATIVE The 20x20 Navigator program provides vital help to AA NH/PI communities in navigating the health insurance marketplace, enroll in Medicaid and Medicare, and access the services they need. Learn more about the 20x20 Navigator program here. 20x20 Navigator Program HEALTH ACCELERATOR The California Health Advocacy Accelerator (CHAA) will help community based organizations (CBOs) serving Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AA and NHPIs) to accelerate their capacities to advance public policy for health and health equity. AANHPIs are the fastest growing racial groups in California comprising over 17% of the state’s population, and the needs of the communities are wide and diverse. As important frontline service providers, CBOs provide critical culturally and linguistically tailored programs and accurate information. As CBOs, you are experts on your community needs and driven by missions to ensure these communities are not harmed or left behind in local, state and national level efforts to improve health and public health. Whether established or emerging, CBOs in California are ready for increasing their advocacy capacities. CHAA Aims to Boost CBOs’ Ability to Advance Public Policy. CHAA will develop the capacity of AANHPI-serving CBOs by increasing their knowledge, skills, and efficacy to be more resilient, inspiring, strategic, and impactful in addressing structural barriers and advancing health and other policy solutions. We believe CHAA will accelerate the growth of strong, sustainable AANHPI-serving CBOs that have policy as an organizational strategy and can engage in full scope public policy advocacy (the ability to exercise the broad spectrum of advocacy strategies and tactics). This 9-month program will begin with a 4-day in-person CHAA Immersive in Oakland, that brings together two-person teams from each CBO. The Immersive will provide a strong foundation in APIAHF’s full scope public policy advocacy framework, covering: (1) Advocacy Essentials; (2) Strategic Communications; and (3) Relationship Building. Following the Immersive, CBOs will convene through 6 distance-based learning sessions. We are currently accepting applications. Click here to review Request for Applications .
