<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 />
