Are you wondering what the HOPWA program is and whether you might qualify?
HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS) is a federally funded program designed to help people living with HIV who are struggling to find or maintain stable housing. It's run by state and local governments, so how it works can vary a little depending on where you live.
To generally be eligible, you'll need to meet these criteria:
- You have an HIV diagnosis
- Your income is below 80% of the median income for your area
- You're in need of housing support
Eligibility rules can also vary for people with undocumented status, so it's worth checking with your local housing agency for the most current information.
The best way to get started is to reach out directly to your local housing agency or email (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) to learn more about what's available in your area.
