This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among federal efforts to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic are the CARE Act of 1990 and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program (HOPWA) administered by the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD), respectively. Both use formulas based upon a grantee's number of AIDS cases, rather than HIV and AIDS cases, to distribute funds to metropolitan areas, states, and territories. HIV cases must be incorporated with AIDS cases in CARE Act formulas not later than fiscal year 2007. GAO was asked to examine (1) how CARE Act and HOPWA funds are allocated among types of services, (2) the extent of funding distribution differences among CARE Act and HOPWA grantees, and how funding formula provisions contribute to these differences, and (3) what distribution differences could result from incorporating HIV case counts in CARE Act and HOPWA funding formulas.

Download or read book Ryan White Care Act written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CARE Act, a federal effort to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, is administered by HHS. The Act uses formulas based upon a grantee's number of AIDS cases to distribute funds to eligible metropolitan areas (EMA), states, and territories. The use of AIDS cases was prescribed because most jurisdictions tracked and reported only AIDS cases when the grant programs were established. HIV cases must be incorporated with AIDS cases in CARE Act formulas no later than fiscal year 2007. GAO was asked to discuss factors that affect the distribution of CARE Act funding. This testimony is based on HIV/AIDS: Changes Needed to Improve the Distribution of Ryan White CARE Act and Housing Funds, GAO-06-332 (Feb. 28, 2006). GAO discusses how specific funding-formula provisions contribute to funding differences among CARE Act grantees and what distribution differences could result from using HIV cases in CARE Act funding formulas.

This book was released on 2005-11-04 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year it is estimated that approximately 40,000 people in the U.S. are newly infected with HIV. In the late 1990s, the number of deaths from AIDS dropped 43% as a result of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Unfortunately, the complex system currently in place for financing and delivering publicly financed HIV care undermines the significant advances that have been made in the development of new technologies to treat it. Many HIV patients experience delays in access to other services that would support adhering to treatment. As a result, each year opportunities are missed that could reduce the mortality, morbidity, and disability suffered by individuals with HIV infections. Public Financing and Delivery of HIV/AIDS Care examines the current standard of care for HIV patients and assesses the extent the system currently used for financing and delivering care allows individuals with HIV to actually receive it. The book recommends an expanded federal program for the treatment of individuals with HIV, administered at the state level. This program would provide timely access and consistent benefits with a strong focus on comprehensive and continuous care and access to antiretroviral therapy. It could help improve the quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients, as well as reduce the number of deaths among those infected.

This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Over 1.2 million people in the U.S. are estimated to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Research has shown that persons with HIV who lack stable housing are less likely to adhere to HIV care. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program and the Health Resources and Service's Administration's (HRSA's) Ryan White program provide grants to localities that can be used to fund housing and supportive services specifically for persons with HIV. This report addresses (1) the need for housing assistance for persons with HIV and the extent to which assistance reaches communities; (2) results achieved through HOPWA and Ryan White; and (3) federal oversight of these programs. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the problem that in the past decade, Washington sent over $1 billion of American tax dollars to dead people. The U.S. government paid for dead people's prescriptions and wheelchairs, subsidized their farms, helped pay their rent, and even chipped in for their heating and air conditioning bills. In some cases, these payments quietly gather in a dormant bank account. In many others, however, they land in the pockets of still-living people, who are defrauding the system by collecting benefits meant for a now-deceased relative. Since 2000, the known cost of these payments to over 250,000 deceased individuals has topped $1 billion. This is likely only a small picture of a much larger problem. A print on demand report.
