Title 42 › Chapter CHAPTER 6A— - PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER XXIV— - HIV HEALTH CARE SERVICES PROGRAM › Part Part B— - Care Grant Program › Subpart subpart i— - general grant provisions › § 300ff–30
The Secretary must give extra grants to States so they can pay for full HIV services in “emerging communities” that do not get Part A grants. To get one, a State must already qualify for the program, show it has an emerging community, promise to send the grant money directly to those communities and keep it separate, and include a detailed plan and information in its application. That plan must explain how the money will be spent and why it is needed; show local financial and in-kind support; show the State will keep HIV activities at least at the level of the one-year period before the fiscal year it is applying for; show the State can spend the money quickly and cheaply; show funds will match local AIDS demographics (including infants, children, women, and families); show the planning was inclusive of affected people; and show the services match local and statewide needs. An “emerging community” is a metro area that had at least 500 but fewer than 1,000 confirmed AIDS cases in the most recent 5-year period, as reported to the CDC Director. Once a metro area is an emerging community for a year, it keeps that status until it fails for three straight fiscal years both to meet the 500–999 five‑year count and to have at least 750 living AIDS cases reported to the CDC Director as of December 31 of the most recent year with data. Each State’s grant for a year equals the total program money for that year multiplied by the State’s share of living HIV/AIDS cases in emerging communities divided by the total such cases in all States.
