PLANNING COUNCIL SUPPORT. Planning councils need personnel to assist them in their work, and money to pay for things like a needs assessment and meeting costs. This is called planning council support. Planning council support should cover reasonable and necessary costs associated with carrying out legislatively mandated functions. The planning council’s budget is a part of the recipient’s administrative budget, so the planning council and recipient decide together what funds are needed. The planning council then works with its support staff to develop its own budget and monitor expenses, but must meet RWHAP and recipient rules regarding use of funds. In deciding how much planning council support to pay for, planning councils and recipients should balance the need for support in order to meet planning requirements with the need for other administrative activi- ties and for direct services for people living with HIV. HRSA encourages planning councils to use some planning council support funds to reimburse unaffiliated consumer members for their actual expenses related to participation in the planning council, such as travel or child/dependent care. However, RWHAP funds may not be used to provide stipends to members.
