Welcome to the Greater Baltimore HIV Health Services Planning Council

The planning council is a 40-member, all-volunteer body, appointed by the mayor of Baltimore City. The council is responsible for:

• Conducting consumer needs assessments and identifying service needs of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWH/As) in the Baltimore EMA.
  
  
• Setting priorities for the allocation of federal HIV/AIDS service dollars under the Ryan White Program, Part A (formerly Title I).
  
  
• Evaluating the efficiency of the administrative mechanism designated by the mayor to distribute Ryan White Program funds and follow planning council priorities.
  
  
• Developing a comprehensive plan for delivering HIV services to PLWH/As.
  
  
• Working with other Ryan White Program representatives to develop the Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need (SCSN).
  
  
• Assuring community participation.
  
  
• Developing methods to address conflicts of interest and grievances.

All planning council and committee meetings are open to the public, except when topics pertaining to individuals' private or confidential information are under discussion.
