Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS

Overview Funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program provides housing assistance and related support services to low-income persons disabled by HIV/AIDS as well as their families. The purpose of the program is to devise long-term housing strategies for people living with HIV/AIDS and to prevent them from becoming destitute. As a supportive housing program, HOPWA also helps to ensure persons with HIV/AIDS have access to necessary medical care and other related services. The HOPWA program works in partnership with local communities and nonprofit organizations for projects that benefit low-income persons with HIV/AIDS. ADECA awards its funds to AIDS Alabama, Inc., the Project Sponsor. Persons seeking assistance should contact AIDS Alabama directly at (205) 324-9822. Projects funded through the HOPWA program are subject to an Environmental Review. This review is conducted by ADECA personnel but does require that the Project Sponsor submit a completed Environmental Review determination form (ENV-HOPWA) to ADECA to initiate the review process.
