Housing for Persons with AIDS

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS or “HOPWA” Program is a federal program established in 1990 to address the specific housing and service-related needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.  San Francisco administers HOPWA funds for 3 counties within our eligible area:  San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin.  Each county makes their own decisions about how to spend their funds.  San Francisco has funded 30 capital projects, including 5 licensed residential care facilities for people with AIDS, and rental assistance programs serving 400-450 recipients annually.

Most San Francisco HOPWA-funded programs take referrals from the Housing Wait List (“HWL”), which has been closed since YR 2000.  For information about your status on the HWL, please call John Tambis at 415.554.2772, who administers the HWL for the Department of Public Health.  Some programs take referrals from the Section 8 and Shelter Plus Care Wait Lists.  

For further information about the HOPWA Program, please contact Chris Harris, Senior Development Specialist, at 415.749.2477.
