Local Ending the HIV Epidemic Plans

Innovative, community-driven solutions are at the heart of the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. CDC therefore funded priority jurisdictions (state and local health departments) to develop innovative, locally tailored plans for scaling up the key strategies of the initiative in a way that will address unique local needs and reduce disparities in each community.

Each plan is based on local epidemiology and social determinants data, and developed and implemented in collaboration with partners, including people living with, and at risk for, HIV.  Community engagement is paramount to the success of these plans and involves the continual collaboration of key stakeholders and broad-based communities working together to identify strategies to increase coordination of HIV programs throughout their jurisdiction in achieving the goals of the EHE initiative.

CDC will continue working with each jurisdiction to modify their plan, where needed, to meet the HIV prevention needs of their communities and address current service challenges and disruptions due to COVID-19. CDC will also continue to provide guidance and share creative community-based solutions as we partner with communities to help them address new and evolving challenges.

The table below reflects the recipients of EHE funding under PS19-1906: Strategic Partnerships and Planning to Support Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States – Component B: Accelerating State and Local HIV Planning. Each award recipient listing also links to the jurisdiction’s current EHE plan and/or EHE planning documents, if their website has been developed.
