There is little evidence available on effective models to engage low-income people living with HIV from racial/ethnic minority communities in reducing housing and employment needs to improve health status. By evaluating the outcomes of the demonstration site interventions, we will have a better understanding of key strategies for addressing housing and employment needs as a way to improve HIV health outcomes, how much it costs to implement a successful intervention, and how to integrate a successful model into the existing work of a clinic or agency. Resources such as implementation manuals and peer-reviewed articles that share key findings will be available to organizations who wish to improve the health outcomes of people living with HIV in the low-income racial and ethnic minority communities they serve.

Our activities will help HRSA achieve improved HIV Care Continuum outcomes and the National Goals to End the HIV Epidemic including:

Increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV

Reducing HIV-related health disparities and health inequities; and

Achieving a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic.
