Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)

The HOPWA program’s goal is to assist low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS with obtaining housing and other supportive services.

Many clients have mental illnesses or substance abuse problems that stem from their diagnosis. Stable housing in most cases improves health care outcomes and provides clients the ability to have access to HIV medications on a regular basis, leading to viral load suppression (virus being undetectable).

For HOPWA, HOPWA staff conducted program monitoring in 2022. Staff conducts monitoring site visits to review program deliverables, instruct providers on reporting requirements, assess training and technical assistance needs, and make recommendations for programmatic improvement. Staff performs monthly desk audits to monitor deliverables set within the contract and scope of work.
