Ask your HIV medical case manager about HOPWA.

First you need to decide where you want to live. Once you do your best option is to find out who administers the HOPWA program.

First of all, navigating all of this at once takes real strength — planning a discharge, managing your health, and looking for housing is a lot. You're asking the right questions, and there are programs that can help.

The best starting point is the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. This federally funded program is specifically for people living with HIV and can help with:

- Housing assistance
- Medical care
- Medications
- Mental health support
- Connecting you with a case manager who guides you through everything

To get started, search for a Ryan White provider near Prescott, AZ at findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov or call (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) (the national HIV/AIDS hotline). Another strong option is the HOPWA program (Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS). It's designed specifically to help people with HIV find stable housing, especially if income is limited. Contact your local Prescott housing agency or the Yavapai County Community Health Services to ask about HOPWA eligibility.

A case manager through Ryan White can also help connect you to local nonprofits and additional financial resources in the Prescott area. You don't have to figure this out alone — that's exactly what they're there for. 💙
