Where We Get Our Funding

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Extension of 2009 (Ryan White Program) receives administration from:

the federal HIV/AIDS Bureau
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA)
Department of Health and Human Services.

The goal of the program is to improve the quality, availability, and organization of health care and support services for individuals and families with HIV infection. Cumulative HIV and AIDS cases reported here in Washington provide the funding base for Washington State.

Washington State utilizes Ryan White Part B funds to:

support provision of treatment (through the Early Intervention Program)
payment of insurance premiums (through the Evergreen Health Insurance Program)
a comprehensive continuum of care for individuals with HIV disease and their families

Specific allocations for each region are based on a dollar parity model that is updated yearly.

HIV care-related services such as:

medical case management
oral health care
medical nutrition therapy
mental health services
substance abuse outpatient care

may be supported in communities through Ryan White Part B funds.

Community planning is based on the assessed needs of:

low income
HIV-positive persons
community priorities
available resources.

If you would like to take part in planning for Ryan White-funded services in your community, please call your local AIDSNETs region to find out when they have planning meetings.
