| Dec 1, 2025 10:47 AM | Regarding Occupancy-We rent offices in a coworking space and do not have the square footage of the whole floor where we rent. Can we either ask for the amount the offices cost for Iowa staff in our application, or divide the square footage of those offices by the amount of square footage we rent on the floor? We have the square footage of each office. | You may divide the square footage of the offices primarily occupied by Iowa Ryan White Part B staff by the amount of square footage you rent on the floor. |
| Dec 4, 2025 11:05 AM | When workplan measure states "number of services in remi" but in our case, we may have more accurate number in careware due to assistance outside of our client numbers, can we add that? | You can always add information to your work plan in order to paint a better picture of what is happening at your agency. |
