              ACTION NEEDED TO RESTORE HOPWA FUNDING
         CALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TODAY



Dear Activist:
   
     There is a chance to save the Housing Opportunity for People
With AIDS (HOPWA) program -- but we must act quickly!  The House
of Representatives will take up the rescissions bill on
Wednesday, March 15.  In a clear demonstration that AIDS is not a
partisan issue, Chris Shays (R-CT) and Charles Schumer (D-NY)
have introduced an amendment to restore HOPWA funding.  The
offset for the amendment is from NASA's $14 billion budget.
          
     HOPWA was created to develop and fund community-based
housing alternatives for people with AIDS.  Without HOPWA tens of
thousands of people and families affected by AIDS would be forced
to live on the street.

The Human Rights Campaign Fund is targeting the following
Representatives to vote to restore the HOPWA funding.

If you live in their district, please call them today and urge
them to vote to restore the HOPWA funding.  The Capitol Hill
Swithboard number is (202)224-3121.
