Oregon HIV/AIDS Housing and Services Systems Integration Plan—Appendices A-41 Appendix 3: HIV/AIDS Housing Options This section describes each HIV/AIDS housing continuum type and its relative advantages and disadvantages. In addition, eligible HOPWA activities within each housing assistance type are noted. HOPWA may be used to fund some of these activities if approved within the Consolidated Plan or grant agreements. These housing assistance program options are included for reference for the reader and for future program planning. Generally, HIV/AIDS housing needs fall into an overall, community-wide housing continuum. This continuum, which provides a comprehensive way of evaluating a community’s resources, divides housing needs and resources into the following categories, each of which are explained in detail in this section: • Emergency Housing Assistance • Transitional Housing Assistance • Permanent Housing Assistance • Services to Support Housing Stability There are many different methods for delivering each of the above housing services. The charts in this section outline many of the housing solutions for each category of housing services, and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each program type. Please note that many different funding sources may be required to establish any of these programs, and that each funding source may have restrictions that disallow certain program activities. In addition, many of the best housing resources for people living with HIV/AIDS are provided by mainstream organizations that serve a wide variety of people. It is usually faster, cheaper, and more appropriate to draw on mainstream housing resources than to create new facilities and services just for people living with HIV/AIDS. Training other providers to understand the special needs of people living with HIV/AIDS can provide the same result as, and often more efficiently than, providing a new service tailored to specific needs. New HIV/AIDS housing programs should focus on filling gaps not covered by other community resources or adapting mainstream resources to meet the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS.
