About Us
What is the Planning Council?
This 30 member Citizens involvement group is a working, decision making body that:
- Decides how $3 million in federal funds will be spent by setting priorities annually for allocating funds to programs serving people living with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS.
- Plans the delivery of medical and social services in six counties: Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah, Yamhill and Washington counties in Oregon, and Clark County in Washington State.
- Involves the community in assessing the health care and social service needs of people living with HIV.
Who can apply for membership?
Volunteer Members are appointed to the Council by the Chair of the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners—which receives and administers the funds.

Priority Setting & Resource Allocations Process
The Council has completed the Priority Setting and Resource Allocations (PSRA) process for Grant Year 2009-2010 (March 1, 2009 – February 28, 2010). Ryan White Part A funds are to be used to address health care and support services gaps for persons living with HIV/AIDS. According to the most recent reauthorization of the law, at least 75% of the funds must be expended on core medical services. The final allocations for FY 09-10 are posted below.
The Council will begin a new meeting schedule, starting in September and a planned Council Retreat in October. See the Meeting Schedule for a “tentative” list of meeting dates. Requests for meeting information and to be added to the Council mailing list should be sent to the Planning Council office.
