SERVICE PROVIDER INFORMATION Housing

The HIV Housing Advocacy Program (HAP) prevents homelessness by providing rental/mortgage payments to a participant's landlord to help the participant avoid a housing crisis. Participants also receive ongoing support to establish and meet not only their immediate financial needs, but also their long-term housing goals and achieve housing stability. HIV positive individuals or their advocates must apply for a HAP payment through their HIV case manager. If an individual is not currently receiving HIV case management, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago will provide an HIV case management referral. The HIV case manager will assess the client's housing needs. Based on their findings, a HAP payment can be requested. Participants must be referred through the Coordinated Housing Advocacy Program of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) by either calling AFC directly (312.922.2322) or through their AFC coordinated case manager. The EPOCH Program is a supportive housing program for HIV positive, single individuals who currently have or have had a history of substance abuse issues. Participants are housed in scattered-site apartments mainly on the North Side of Chicago and are required to pay 30 percent of their income towards rent. EPOCH also provides case management, educational support groups, transportation assistance, and referrals to substance use treatment.
