Notice Details

This contract is for 36 units of permanent supportive housing in New York City to very low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and their families.

The goals and objectives of the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Supportive Permanent Housing program are to:
• Reduce the prevalence and risk of homelessness among PLWHA
• Enable PLWHA to establish and/or better maintain a permanent, stable living environment in housing that is decent, safe, and sanitary
• Improve access to health care and HIV viral suppression rates among PLWHA 
• Promote self-sufficiency to enable PLWHA to maintain independent, permanent housing without the provision of supportive housing

Permanent supportive housing is defined as permanent, affordable scattered-site or congregate housing with the provision of comprehensive supportive services to eligible persons and their families who face multiple barriers in their ability to maintain housing stability. Permanent housing is intended to be long-term and continued occupancy is expected until the household achieves independence and/or is no longer income eligible. Support services provided by the contractor will enable eligible families to live independently and achieve housing stability. Programs should assist eligible persons and their families in reducing barriers that impede their ability to maintain housing and health stability.
