New Housing Opportunity for NYers Living with HIV, AIDS

Making history, the city is offering housing to residents with HIV or AIDS for the first time, through the Gay Men’s Health Crisis organization.

The agency has taken over a contract with 25 units of housing throughout Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.

The pilot program offers residents supportive service programs including legal aid, employment training and case management.

The non-profit says having stable housing helps people get appropriate medical care.

There are nearly 10,000 people in the city living with HIV or AIDS.
