Book Description

Under the Ryan White CARE Act, funds are made available to assist over 530,000 individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Grantees directly provide services to individuals or arrange with service providers to do so. The Health Resources and Services Admin. (HRSA), which administers CARE Act programs, is required to cancel balances of grants that are unobligated after one year and redistribute amounts to grantees in need. Under the CARE Act, states and territories receive grants for AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP), which provide HIV/AIDS drugs. This report reviews: (1) HRSA's implementation of the unobligated balance provisions; (2) HRSA's actions to collect client-level data; and (3) the status of ADAP waiting lists. Charts and tables.
