The federal government awards Part A funds to Eligible Metropolitan Areas (EMAs) and Transitional Grant Areas (TGAs), not states, and some states have more than one EMA or TGA. In the table above, Part A funds awarded to EMAs and TGAs are attributed to the state in which they are located. In some cases, EMAs or TGAs may cross-state lines and Part A awards are provided to the Chief Elected Official (CEO) in the city or county of the EMA or TGA that provides services to the greatest number of people living with AIDS. The table above attributes these funds to the state in which the city or county EMA or TGA award recipient is located, but it is important to note that some of these funds may be used for people with HIV/AIDS living in other states within the EMA or TGA.
