Background and Discussion:
The purpose of the HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants program, as authorized by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009, is to provide direct financial assistance to eligible metropolitan areas (EMAs) that have been the most severely affected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic to develop, organize and operate programs that provide an effective, appropriate and cost efficient continuum of health care and support services for the individuals and families impacted by HIV disease.
