Working with recipients of sizeable populations allows ELC to take advantage of economy of scale in implementing programs and reducing the marginal cost of additional resources added per population served. This strategy allows ELC to reach the greatest number of people for its budget while also balancing the need for direct support to some of the United States’ largest cities and counties.

Pursuant to 42 USC 300hh-31, eligible applicants include:The 51 State health departments or their bona fide agents, including the District of Columbia. Local health agencies or their bona fide agents, if they serve a city population of 1. 5M or more (i.e., Chicago, Houston, New York City, Philadelphia).

If the city does not have a public health department, then the county covering the jurisdiction may apply (i.e., Los Angeles, CA covered by Los Angeles County and Phoenix, AZ covered by Maricopa County).

All US territories and affiliates in the Caribbean and Pacific (American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Republic of Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and US Virgin Islands). *Population for county and city jurisdictions.
