ABOUT THE COUNCIL
Planning
Council Brochure - English or Spanish
(pdf) The Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 is divided into five
major sections: Part A, B, C, D and F. The Houston Area Ryan White Planning
Council is only responsible for activities under Part A. See Ryan
White Part A Planning Council Primer and Ryan
White Part A Manual. Houston’s Council is a 38
member volunteer planning group
comprised of community members who have been appointed by the CEO to serve a
two-year term. The CEO is the person
who officially receives the Ryan White Program Part A funds and the
appointment of the Planning Council is a requirement in order to receive that
funding. Council members, in
collaboration with consumers, service providers, and other experts determine
what services are most needed by people living with HIV in the Houston EMA. The Council then prioritizes those services
and decides the best way to allocate Houston’s Part A grant award to fund the
service categories according to the approved priorities. The Council also provides
input in determining the Standards
of Care for each of the funded service categories and for
developing a Comprehensive
Plan to provide those services. The Council does not
directly fund or contract with agencies to provide client
services. The Administrative
Agent (Ryan
White Grant Administration), a department of Harris County Public Health)
is responsible for contracting with agencies according to the descriptions,
priorities and allocations determined by the Council in order to acquire
services for people living with HIV in the Houston area. The Council also evaluates how well the
Administrative Agent performs in contracting the provision of services. Meeting Packet & Zoom Instructions – June 13, 2024 Timeline
