Housing as a base from which to receive care
National Commission on AIDS
The first step to better health is a roof over your head
HOPWA Housing resident, Chicago
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over one million Americans are living with HIV and AIDS. Throughout many communities, persons living with HIV or AIDS risk losing their housing due to compounding factors, such as increased medical costs and limited incomes or reduced ability to keep working due to AIDS and related illnesses. Stable housing is the cornerstone of HIV/AIDS treatment, allowing persons with HIV/AIDS to access comprehensive healthcare and adhere to complex HIV/AIDS drug therapies.
HUD's HOPWA Program
To address housing needs for low-income persons who are living with HIV/AIDS and their families, HUD manages the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. The HOPWA program is the only Federal program dedicated to address the housing needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Funds are distributed to states and cities by formula allocations and made available as part of the area’s Consolidated Plan. In addition, some projects are selected in national competitions to serve as service delivery models or operate in non-formula areas. Grantees partner with nonprofit organizations and housing agencies to provide housing and support to beneficiaries.
Housing Options
Persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families may require housing that provides emergency, transitional, or long-term affordable solutions. A variety of HOPWA programs and projects provide short-and long-term rental assistance, operate community residences or make use of other supportive housing facilities developed to address needs of persons who are living with HIV/AIDS and related challenges. HOPWA Technical Assistance is also available to help manage program resources.
