What do you think of my research paper. 10 points for honest answer. Thank you?

Introduction The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program was the first program of its kind that was established to address the growing needs for housing for homeless persons, low-income individuals, as well as families that have been affected by the HIV/AIDS Virus (HUD, 2003). The significance of this study is to show the extent to which the HOPWA Program has in fact fulfilled its mandate by Congress to provide assistance to families, homeless persons and low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS. Review of Literature HOPWA Program was designed to provide housing assistance as the annual output measure; and to collect client information demonstrating the outcome for improved housing stability for the special needs population (HUD, 2003). In addition, HOPWA also makes grants to local communities, states, and nonprofit organizations to provide housing assistance and support services to low-income population with HIV/AIDS and their families (HUD, 2006). The funding request for the program is need-driven and reflects the department mission for providing permanent housing assistance to the populations who has very low-income and living with symptomatic HIV/AIDS, who also face chronic homeless and other challenges (Kingsley, 2007). Studies show over 90 percent of HOPWA funds is distributed according to the number of people living with HIV/AIDS within a state or community (Ramirez, 2006). HOPWA funding is integrated into the overall federal response to the population living with HIV/AIDS (Swindell, 2007). Recently, HUD united with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies on a range of projects to promote better housing, health care, and other support services to those individuals living with HIV/AIDS (Saul, 2007). Results The U.S. federal government has made available over $2.3 billion in HOPWA budgets to support communities to establish and operate HIV/AIDS housing (Bruce, 2001). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided 294.75 million to HIV/AIDS housing assistance program (HUD, 2006). The following chart indicates HOPWA budget for the period 2005-2007: According to the chart, the 2005 budget requested for HOPWA was $294.8 million, which was level with the fiscal year 2004 (HUD, 2006). In 2006, HOPWA budget decreased to $286 million. In 2007, the program seeks $300 million (HUD, 2007). Summary of Findings and Implications Findings states that if the HOPWA program were to stay within budget, there would be a significant decrease in many of the services that the program offers such as housing assistance and medical care for people with HIV/AIDS. The following table describes the performance measurement system and how the system will be implemented. In conclusion, the HIV/AIDS cases are increasing faster than assistance can be given to the people. The findings show that even though HOPWA is not staying within budget, they are still being effective not only to the people living with HIV/AIDS but other communities as well. The future of the HIV/AIDS community is greatly impacted by the amount of money that HOPWA receives in funds. Sorry, I can not show you the graph and data. Do you understand what I am trying to say though? Thank you

4. Ill give it 4 out of 5. So your saying that the people who have aids get helped out by hopwa program. thats cool, its like we,ve cured aids
5. oh my god that was great the fact that you pinpointed all those extras was excellent and the uses of how you first used the full program for the hiv/aids help then used the parenthisis for the obreviations you got it down i bet you'll get a grate grade your teacher will love it.
6. I think that there are enough forms of welfair as it is and that if we don't stop trying too support the nation on the backs of our taxpayers we are going too loose all of the programs that we now have such as Social Securith and Medicare. Both of these wer established too give financial security too older citizens when they are too old too work. I agree 100% with these programs because old people are basically helpless and need help too have security. It is the young that refuse too work because they make more on welfare than by working that I object too supporting. Welfare will eventually bankrupt our country. One out of 11 people in the United States is now on Welfare and many of theese are capeable of working. I think that the publisity for aids has been around long enough that people have unprotected sex by choice and since of all the publisity have no one too blame but themselves. They already get free mdeical care if they can't afford too pay and that is enough too do for them under the circumstances. I do not blame you for being kind and wanting too help those who are suffering but feel that aids is their own fault in the first place and should not be suported other than for medical care.
