  • Title: HOPWA's death in the House sets stage for negotiations with Senate.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Apr 07; 10(6):1-2. PubMed ID: 11362269.
    Abstract:
    The U.S. House of Representatives has called for the elimination of the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) program while the Senate has yet to decide HOPWA's fate. Activists are hoping the Senate conferees will persuade their House counterparts to spare HOPWA and that HOPWA's fate will be brought up during the House Appropriations Committee conference. Arguments are being made by sympathetic congressmen and women that there is a need by about 60 percent of people with AIDS for housing assistance. The alternative is longer hospitalization stays at an enormous burden to the taxpayers. Bipartisan support is emerging. On March 24th, the Senate Appropriations Committee left intact fiscal 1995 spending for HOPWA, the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act, and a host of prevention and research programs.
