The money will be available to 20 organizations that provide a variety of nonclinical services for HIV-positive clients, such as case management, health and risk education and treatment advocacy.
Mayoral spokeswoman Jennifer Petrucione said savings in workers' compensation costs made it possible to reallocate the money and maintain the city's general fund contribution to local programs at the same amount as last year -- just under $10 million.
A total of $57.5 million is now planned to be spent on HIV/AIDS programs in San Francisco, about $4 million less than last year, reflecting cuts in San Francisco's share of federal grants funded by the Ryan White Care Act.
