April 3, 1992

        Under provisions of Title I of the Ryan White Comprehensive
AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act, HHS Secretary Louis W.
Sullivan, M.D., today announced nearly $60 million in supplemental
grants to 18 cities to pay for health care and support services for
people with AIDS and HIV infection.
        Since 1991, more than $205 million has been awarded under
Title I authority to cities with the highest number of people
diagnosed with AIDS.  The program is administered by the Health
Resources and Services Administration, a Public Health Service
agency within HHS.
        "Grant funds will be used by the cities to deliver or
enhance HIV-related outpatient, ambulatory health and support
services and inpatient case management services for individuals and
their families," Dr. Sullivan said.  "Services may include
transportation of patients to care sites, home-delivered meals and
meal banks, hospice care and the wide range of clinical and medical
care necessary to treat the numerous opportunistic diseases
affecting those living with the HIV virus."
        Title I grants fall into two categories:  formula grants
and supplemental grants, with formula grants awarded first.  Cities
were automatically eligible for both types of grants if they 
reported more than 2,000 AIDS cases, or a per capita incidence of
0.0025 AIDS cases, to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control by March
31, 
1991.  In February 1992, 18 cities received $59.7 million in
formula grants.
        Cities that received formula grants competed for
supplemental grants, based on applications documenting additional
severe needs of residents with HIV infection. 
        This year's supplemental grants ranged from more than $15
million for New York City to $978,162 for Baltimore, Md. 
        Robert G. Harmon, M.D., M.P.H., HRSA administrator, said,
"Through partnerships between public and private organizations, the
cities receiving these Ryan White CARE funds are building
responsive programs for those in need."

formula grants, and amounts, follows:
