<strong>Oregon</strong> <strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> and <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Integration Plan—Appendices A-45<br />
GOALS & DESCRIPTIONS<br />
Negotiated set-asides <strong>of</strong> units for<br />
PLWHA in mainstream affordable<br />
housing projects<br />
Best in projects already developed<br />
with rents affordable to PLWHA, or<br />
when <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations can<br />
contribute debt-free funding (such as<br />
HOPWA)<br />
A long-term lease agreement with a<br />
property manager in which a service<br />
organization funds a rent reserve to<br />
pay the difference between market rent<br />
and the amount that consumers can<br />
pay<br />
Best when market rents are not<br />
affordable and landlords are willing to<br />
enter long-term agreements<br />
A service organization leases units that<br />
are then sub-leased at an affordable<br />
cost to PLWHA<br />
Best in communities with active rental<br />
markets in healthy neighborhoods with<br />
access to support services<br />
