Background and Discussion:
Ryan White Part A is a federal program administered through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The program serves individuals living with HIV who do not have health insurance (public or private), have insufficient health care coverage, or lack the financial resources needed to access necessary HIV-related care. In addition to outpatient medical care, Ryan White funds support services that help individuals access and remain engaged in medical care. The amendment with the City of Houston Health Department provides funding for non-medical case management services for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV and HIV-positive youth ages 13-24.
Expected Impact:
To provide optimal HIV care and treatment for people with HIV who are low-income, uninsured, and underserved, to improve their medical outcomes.
Alternative Options:
Approval ensures uninterrupted HIV services for residents living with HIV and staffing to support grant activities
