Housing Programs

Housing for People with HIV/AIDS

The Housing Trust operates one of the most innovative housing programs in the country for people living with HIV/AIDS. This program is funded through a Special Project of National Significance grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Housing Trust’s Housing Opportunity for People Living with AIDS (HOPWA) program recognizes the importance of housing security and the essential link between stable housing and a person's health and well-being. The Housing Trust integrates a program of re-entry planning, down payment savings planning, as well as technical and financial assistance for purchasing a home. This project has helped many people living with HIV/AIDS to become productive members of their communities again.
