The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Beyond medical care, this program also provides housing assistance to eligible individuals. It covers a broad range of support services, including:
- Medical care and mental health treatment
- Dental care
- Housing assistance
- Medication access
To get started, reach out to a Ryan White provider near you. You'll likely be assigned a case manager who will help connect you to all available resources. State and City Programs
Many states and cities run their own HIV-specific housing programs. For example, New York City offers HIV care and support to all people diagnosed with HIV, regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. Rules vary widely by location, so it's worth checking with:
- Your local community health center
- Your city, county, or state department of health
- Your HIV care provider
Since policies can change, always verify current eligibility requirements directly with the program or a local clinic.
