Description
The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program is the only federal program dedicated to the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. Primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), it supports projects that help low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families find and maintain safe, affordable, decent housing. HUD issues awards through a competitive process.
HOPWA can fund housing acquisition, rehabilitation or construction; facility operations; rental assistance; and short-term payments to prevent homelessness. It also supports program planning and services coordinated with housing assistance, including case management, treatment, nutrition, job assistance and help with daily living. In Alaska, Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association and Interior AIDS Association deliver HOPWA support.
