Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)

Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) is the only federal program dedicated to the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. Under the HOPWA Program, HUD makes grants to local communities, states, and nonprofit organizations for projects that benefit low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.

Program Overview

Housing Connect, partnering with Salt Lake City Corporation and the State of Utah, provides long term tenant-based rental assistance for qualifying households. Similar to the Housing Choice Voucher program, HOPWA participants pay 30% of their income for housing expenses and the program covers the remaining costs. This program serves individuals and families throughout Salt Lake County.

Accessing Services

All referrals for the program come from the waitlist held by the Utah AIDS Foundation, who collaborates with the University of Utah’s Clinic 1A. Prioritization for housing assistance is based on health concerns related to housing stability.
