Senators Support Fully Funding HOPWA

On April 26, 2005,  33 Senators signed a letter to HUD Appropriators requesting an increased funding level for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program!  The letter, co-sponsored by Senators Durbin (D-IL) and Martinez (R-FL), requests a funding level of $385 million for the program for FY06.  The president's budget proposal requests a grossly inadequate level of only $268 million.

Did your Senator(s) co-sign?  If so, please call and thank them for their support of vital HOPWA funding increases.  You can reach their offices by calling the capitol switchboard at 202-225-3121.
