Housing is Healthcare: Best Practices and Common Challenges in HIV Housing

Your jurisdiction may be among those EHE recipients that are planning to enhance efforts to meet the housing needs of people with HIV (PWH) in the short term; and expand access to housing assistance in the longer term. 

The webinar is part of the support being provided to Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) jurisdictions through TAP-in, the HRSA-funded technical assistance provider. 

In this online TA event, TAP-in provides an overview of HIV housing strategies and program models from across the country with a focus on innovation and on leveraging a range of housing and supportive services resources to maximize housing opportunities for PWH and promote the long-term stability that is critical for effective HIV management.

The discussion also touched on leveraging other funding and opportunities such as acquisition/repurposing of housing stock to prioritize HIV housing assistance as a cost-effective health intervention.
