Your home affects your health! It informs your engagement in care, your health outcomes, viral load, antiretroviral therapy adherence, and overall quality of life.
However, a global pandemic and an already egregious LA housing market places PLWH (people living with HIV) in a potentially unhealthy situation. APLA Health’s Housing Support program addresses the needs of PLWH who face homelessness, the threat of homelessness, or who may need assistance to maintain or retain current housing.
Housing specialists will assist clients in acquiring, financing, and maintaining affordable and appropriate housing. Services include: formulating housing plans, assisting clients in applying for housing assistance, moving into housing, educating clients about tenant rights and responsibilities, providing referrals for additional supportive housing services, and acting as an ongoing liaison between clients, property owners, and case managers.
