Housing Opportunities


Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA)


HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES

The goal of the HOPWA program is to provide funds for the payment of rent or mortgage, and utilities for HIV positive individuals and their dependent family members. This program is intended to be accessed for a limited period of time to assist individuals and their families through transitional periods when their HIV positivity causes financial difficulties. Thus, this is a “needs based” program, in which the client must demonstrate the level of benefits needed through verifiable documentation.


The individual meets with his/her case manager to determine how their HIV positivity has created a financial crisis that is threatening the client's living situation and whether there is a need for housing financial assistance. After a need is determined the client completes an application for assistance which includes proof of income, bills requested to be paid, family budget, and a plan on how the client will work to prevent a repeat situation. The case manager then reviews these documents for completeness. Funding is based upon a client's ranking of need and availability of funds. Funding for transitional housing is also available in emergency situations to prevent homelessness.


For Additional Information Contact your case manager at 850-785-1088


Resource Identification


At BASIC, the HOPWA program also includes Resource Identification Staff who assist in the following ways:


• Establish, coordinate, and develop materials that inform clients of available housing and resources;


• Support and help the client to complete the permanent housing applications and eligibility screenings for tenancy or utilities;


• Help to develop a housing service plan to establish stable permanent housing; and


• Compile a Community Resource Booklet to assist clients in finding resources for their ongoing needs in Bay and surrounding counties.
