Summary

The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act makes federal funds available to metropolitan areas and states to assist in health care costs and support services for individuals and families affected by acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The Act was reauthorized through FY2005 by legislation passed in October 2000. The CARE Act programs received $2.020 billion in FY2004. The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2005 (P.L. 108-447) provides $2.065 billion for Ryan White Programs in FY2005. Because of a mandatory 0.80% across-the-board rescission specified in P.L. 108-447, and an additional $25 million available from an evaluation set-aside, the total program level funding for FY2005 is $2.073 billion. The President has requested level program funding for FY2006, except for a $10 million increase in the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. The total amount requested is $2.058 billion for Ryan White Programs in FY2006; with the $25 million set-aside, the total for FY2006 would be $2.083 billion. This report will be updated periodically.
