Ninety-four
Representatives Ask for a $168 Million
Increase for HOPWA in FY2008
On Friday, April 27,
Representatives Nadler (D-NY), Crowley (D-NY) and Murphy (D-CT),
along with 91 of their colleagues, send a programmatic increase
request letter (see below) to the Chair and
Ranking Member of the House HUD Appropriations Subcommittee
requesting NAHC’s recommended funding level for the Housing
Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program for FY2008 --
$454 million. The President included $300 million for HOPWA in his
FY08 budget request – a welcome increase over the FY07 appropriated
level of $286 million, but -- far below the amount required to meet
actual need.
The letter,
addressed to Reps. Olver and Knollenberg, had a total of 94 signatures when it
closed. Thanks to all of the HIV/AIDS housing advocates that
called their Representatives and asked them to sign on!
