There are a few housing options available for people living with HIV, depending on where you live.

Federal Program — Available Nationwide:
The Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program is federally funded and helps people with HIV who have low incomes find stable housing. It's run by state and local governments, so availability and rules can vary by location.

To qualify, your income generally needs to be below 80% of the median income for your area. City-Specific Example:
New York City is a standout — it offers HIV care and support to anyone diagnosed with HIV, regardless of immigration status or ability to pay.

How to Find What's Available Near You:

- Contact your local or state health department
- Reach out to a community health center in your area
- Email (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) for more details on the housing program
- Call your state's HIV/AIDS hotline

Since rules and eligibility can change, checking with a local clinic or public health department is the best way to get the most current information for your specific city or state.
