For Ryan White Part A, applicants must reside in Hartford, Tolland, or Middlesex county. View a list of towns covered by RW Part A Transitional Grant Area (TGA). For RW Part B, preference will be given to those applicants residing in Tolland County or outside of the Hartford TGA. Clients who have capped out of RW Part A funds will also be considered.

Applicants do not have to apply to a specific program, as that will be determined by the ACT HAF Team.
