  • Title: HOPWA rescission approved; work begins on 1996 funding.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Aug 11; 10(14):10. PubMed ID: 11362708.
    Abstract:
    Along with the Ryan White CARE Act reauthorization, other major developments were happening on Capitol Hill concerning AIDS. Fiscal 1995 funding for the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) program was passed with a reduction of fifteen million dollars, or eight percent. The outlook for fiscal 1996 funding for HOPWA improved when the House of Representatives amended a housing appropriations bill to add $441 million to a special needs fund, although the measure may not survive House Republican cuts in Federal housing programs. For the first time, Congress did not allot specific sums for AIDS research in its appropriations bill for the Labor and Health and Human Services, which includes the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Ryan White Act. The NIH would decide how much to spend on AIDS research in fiscal 1996, but the bill stipulates that the director of the NIH must consult with the Office of AIDS Research before setting funding allocations. The White House Office of National AIDS Policy has amended the mandatory AIDS training of Federal employees. Agencies must make training available, but can decide whether to make attendance compulsory or mandatory. The Senate passed an amendment requiring all agencies to make participation voluntary, and the House added a provision to an appropriations bill that bars Federal worker-training programs from seeking to change values or life style.
