HIV/AIDS Community Planning brings together service providers, Health Department staff,
people living with HIV or AIDS, and other concerned community members to create a plan
for the network of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Early Intervention, and Patient Care services
in their local area. The planning partnership, sometimes called a Consortia, works to
that services are available for the people who need them most, that they provide benefit
at the lowest cost, and that they are of the highest possible quality.
HIV/AIDS Community Planning was originally supported by the Ryan White CARE Act of 1990
and continues to be supported under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act
of 2006. This Planning Partnership was intended to ensure that the Federal funds would
be allocated to support the most needed services in regions and among groups of people
that have been hardes hit by HIV.
