Scary HIV Thing On My Door

[jcole]

Hum, how much taxpayer money is the city using for these scary fliers and this appointed "council"?

to plan and decide how to use Ryan White Part A funds

They are federal funds.

Part A [[$604 million FY 2007) - These funds are given to Eligible Metropolitan Areas [[EMAs) and Transitional Grant Areas [[TGAs) that are most severely affected by HIV/AIDS. Cities such as Detroit, Atlanta, and Chicago are examples of currently funded EMAs. Cities such as Indianapolis and Austin are examples of currently funded TGAs. To receive funding EMAs must have at least 2,000 HIV cases and a population greater than 50,000. TGAs on the other hand must have 1,000 to 1,999 cases to qualify for funding. Monies from Part A can be used for:
outpatient and ambulatory services
pharmaceutical assistance
dental health
early intervention services
health insurance premium and cost sharing assistance for low-income individuals
home health care
medical nutrition therapy
hospice services
home and community-based health services
mental health services
substance abuse outpatient care
medical case management, including treatment adherence services.
