How can I find help with housing if I'm living with HIV?

If you're struggling with housing, the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program may be able to help. This federally funded program, run by states and local governments, supports people with HIV who have low incomes in finding safe and stable housing.

HOPWA is generally available to people with HIV whose income is below 80 percent of the median income for their area. Eligibility rules can vary by location and may change, so it's important to contact your local housing agency for the most current information.

To learn more about the program, you can email (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) or reach out to your local housing agency directly. Additionally, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program offers housing assistance along with medical care, mental health treatment, dental care, and other services. You can reach out to a Ryan White provider near you to start the process. They'll likely assign you a case manager who can help connect you with housing resources and other support you need.

Your case manager can also help you access additional financial assistance if needed and ensure you're taking advantage of all available resources.
