Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Funding Tracker
In February 2019, President Trump announced the “Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative: A Plan for America”, a federal effort to reduce new HIV infections in the United States by 75% in five years and 90% in ten years. During Phase 1, the initiative is focusing on the 48 counties in the U.S. with the highest HIV diagnoses, as well as San Juan, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and 7 states with a substantial share of rural HIV cases (see Figure 1). It includes a new infusion of federal funds, marking the first significant increases in funding for CDC HIV prevention and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, the nation’s safety net program for HIV care and treatment, in many years. Still, this additional funding accounts for a relatively small share of overall federal HIV funding provided to state and local jurisdictions.

Figure 1: Ending the Epidemic (EHE) Phase 1 Jurisdictions: 48 high burden counties, D.C., San Juan, P.R., and 7 states with a high rural burden
This tracker provides up-to-date data on federal EHE funding, including an overview of funding mechanisms by year, agency, grant mechanism, and jurisdiction. It will be updated over time.
Funding by Year, Agency, and Grant Mechanism
Funding for EHE efforts in FY 2019 were provided through reprogramed funding from the Secretary’s Minority AIDS Initiative and for FY 2020 through new Congressional appropriations (see Table 1). In FY 2019, funding totaled $34.7 million. In FY 2020, it increased to $266 million.

Table 2 provides detail on each federal EHE grant mechanism by agency. Most of this funding has been allocated to EHE jurisdictions, although a subset is for agency grantees outside of EHE jurisdictions to carry out related efforts. For example, in FY 2019, CDC provided $14 million through Strategic Partnerships & Planning to Support EHE in the U.S. funding to 32 EHE jurisdictions and one national organization for providing capacity building and technical support to EHE jurisdictions.

Notes: As of 48/6/20 all EHE awarded grants appear in this table. Table does not include grants that have not yet been awarded. Table includes funding streams that do not appear elsewhere in this data note because they are not provided to EHE jurisdictions or to providers located within jurisdictions. In some cases, not all grantees awarded EHE funds in FY19 were Phase 1 EHE jurisdictions – for example, the FY19 HRSA/HAB funding went to 10 grantees, 2 of which were not EHE jurisdictions. Sources are the award announcements linked to above with hyperlinks in the grant name.

Notes: State funding amounts represent funding directly attributed to the state and not an overall state funding level inclusive of county or other funding. Funding attributed to EHE Counties may be provided directly to counties, to EMAs/TGAs serving an EHE county, or to the state on behalf of the county/ies. When funding agencies had had a prior relationship with funded EHE counties, the counties received funding directly from the grant-making agency. In the case of the Ryan White grant, funding was distributed to the Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) or Transitional Grant Area (TGA) where the relevant EHE county is located due to the prior grantee relationship. In the case of CDC funding, where counties did not have a prior relationship, funding was distributed to the state on behalf of those counties. When CDC funding was directed to a state on behalf of a single county, we attributed that funding to the EHE county. However, in some cases, a state received a sum to be distributed among multiple counties and county funding levels cannot be disaggregated from the total amount provided to the state. In these circumstances, we attribute the funding to the state. For example, California received $436,180 in CDC funding on behalf of Alameda, Orange, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties, while Los Angeles and San Francisco Counties were funded directly. In the table the directly funded amounts are included for Los Angeles and San Francisco while the amount provided to CA is for the state to distribute among other EHE counties.

Funding directed to EHE Counties may be provided directly to counties, to EMAs/TGAs serving an EHE county, to the state on behalf of the county, or to Health Centers located within EHE jurisdictions. In the case of the Ryan White grant, funding was distributed to the Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) or Transitional Grant Area (TGA) where the relevant EHE county is located due to the prior grantee relationship, except in the case of Hamilton Co., Ohio. Funding for Hamilton Co., Ohio was provided to the state on behalf of the county due to preexisting funding relationships. In most cases, Health Center funding was attributed to the EHE county identified in the list of eligible health centers released as part of the funding opportunity announcement. This methodology was used for 172 of the health centers funded when a single EHE county was identified. When more than one EHE county was listed as eligible, funding was attributed to the county of the city listed in the grant announcement, provided it is an EHE county. This methodology was used for 20 of the funded health centers. When the county of the city listed in the EHE grant announcement was not an EHE county and when multiple EHE counties were identified in the list of eligible health centers, funding was attributed to the most populous county identified in the eligible health center list. This methodology was used for 3 of the health centers funded. In the case of CDC funding, where counties did not have a prior relationship, funding was distributed to the state on behalf of those counties. When CDC funding was directed to a state on behalf of a single county, we attributed that funding to the EHE county. However, in some cases, a state received a sum to be distributed among multiple counties and county funding levels cannot be disaggregated from the total amount provided to the state. In these circumstances, we attribute the funding to the state. For example, California received $8,421,484 in CDC (component A) funding on behalf `of Alameda, Orange, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties, while Los Angeles and San Francisco Counties were funded directly. In the table the directly funded amounts are included for Los Angeles and San Francisco while the amount provided to CA is for the state to distribute among other EHE counties.
