PROJECT NEW HOPE: A FAITH-BASED EFFORT TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR PERSONS WITH HIV/AIDS.
Housing has long been the single largest area of unmet need for people living with HIV/AIDS, and there are few published descriptions of programs that address this need. This paper describes Project New Hope in Los Angeles, California, a faith-based program that may be the nation's first housing program exclusively designed for people with HIV/AIDS. We discuss why housing is important for HIV positive people; then we describe the project, including how it got started, how it operates, its linkage with the Episcopal Church, and its principal accomplishments and challenges; finally, we conclude with lessons learned that might be applied elsewhere.
