SUMMARY:
The Orange County HIV Planning Council is mandated to set service category priorities and funding allocations for Ryan White Act Part A funds in Orange County and in support of that function, the Health Care Agency requests approval of two appointments to the Orange County HIV Planning Council and the reappointments of two current members.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Orange County HIV Planning Council (Council), composed of up to 27 members, is an appointed body of the Board of Supervisors (Board). The mission of the Council is to “work in partnership with affected communities, service providers, philanthropists, and public health professionals, to support an accessible, culturally competent continuum of HIV prevention and care services that promotes optimal health, fosters self-sufficiency, reduces stigma and discrimination, and results in a community where new HIV infections are rare.”
The Council serves as the HIV Health Services Planning Council as required by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Ryan White Act). The Health Care Agency (HCA) receives approximately $6 million annually in Ryan White Part A funding, over which the Council has federally mandated responsibilities, which include:
|
1. |
Developing a multi-year plan and conducting an assessment of persons living with HIV (PLWH) service needs which include: an epidemiological profile; an assessment of service needs and barriers; a resource inventory; a profile of provider capacity and capability; an estimation and assessment of unmet need (PLWH who are not in medical care); and an estimation and assessment of individuals who are HIV-positive and unaware. |
|
2. |
Establishing priorities for care, treatment, and supportive services for PLWH and determining the allocation of Ryan White Act Part A funds to services prioritized within Orange County, including instructions on how best to meet each priority. |
|
3. |
Assessing the ongoing efficiency of the administrative mechanism (i.e. HCA) to rapidly allocate funds to the areas of greatest need within Orange County. |
The Ryan White Act includes specific requirements to assure that the Council has broad representation, including unaligned (non-conflicted) consumers of HIV services. Membership requirements and the application process are defined in the Council Bylaws and policies and procedures. The Council maintains year-round open recruitment for qualified candidates. The last Board appointments were made on August 28, 2018. With approval of these appointments, the Council still has the capacity to fill 13 additional seats including three mandated categories. The vacant mandated categories include: (I) State Government (including the State Medicaid agency and the agency administering the program under part B of this subchapter), (F) hospital planning agencies or health care planning agencies, (L) grantees under other federal HIV programs, including but not limited to providers of HIV prevention services.
