Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Eligible Applicants. They include, but are not limited to,
city or county health departments or districts; public or
private non-profit hospitals; consortia of health care and
community based organizations which can develop or have
developed comprehensive ambulatory community and
home based HIV support programs offering appropriate
and compassionate care at reduced costs.
An applicant may only apply for a grant within its HIV
Service Delivery Area (HSDA). The maximum grant
funds available for each HSDA are as follows: Abilene
HSDA, Concho Plateau HSDA, Greenville HSDA, Ternm-
ple/Killeen HSDA, Uvalde HSDA, Waco HSDA, and the
Wichita Falls HSDA are eligible for grants in the $5,000-
$10, 000 range; Bryan HSDA, Laredo HSDA, Longview
HSDA, and Victoria HSDA are eligible for grants in the
$10,000-$24,900 range; Amarillo HSDA, Beaumont/Port

range.
Under Senate Bill 959, any entity or community based
organization that advocates or promotes conduct that vio-
lates Texas law is ineligible to receive funds. This does
not prohibit the award of a grant to an entity or community
based organization that provides accurate information
about ways to reduce the risk of exposure to or transmis-
sion of HIV. This provision extends to the entities who
may participate as subcontractors to the primary contract
holder.
Department Review Criteria. An applicant must demon-
strate the following: ability to coalesce broad based com-
munity support among appropriate agencies and programs
from cities and counties within the appropriate HSDA; a
thorough understanding of AIDS and the HIV epidemic;
ability to address the need and demand for ambulatory,
mental health, community, and home based services, in-
cluding education and prevention services for individuals
with high risk behaviors; knowledge of existing gaps in
the continuum of care; experience and potential to provide
treatment and support to the largest number of patients
with AIDS and other HIV related conditions within eligi-
ble HSDAs at the least cost.
Applicants also must develop an implementation plan that
includes a milestone chart or time schedule that shows the
phase in of each component of the delivery system and
expected completion dates of various project objectives
over the course of the eight month grant period. The
applicant's budget must reflect all sources of funding
which support organizations that will work with the grant-
ee. The applicant must give specific attention to the assur-
ance of comprehensive and appropriate service and access
to an affected population. Applicants from contiguous
communities should undertake cooperative regional sys-
tems of care in order to avoid duplication of services.
