HUD Offers $9 Million
To help prevent victims of domestic violence living with HIV/AIDS from falling into homelessness, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is making more than $9 million available to state and local governments, as well as nonprofits, through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)/Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Project Demonstration - a collaborative effort between HUD's Office of HIV/AIDS Housing (OHH) and the Department of Justice's Office of Violence Against Women (OVW). More than half of women living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. do not have access to stable housing and are at higher risk of experiencing domestic violence. For more information, please read HUD's Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).

Through this demonstration program, HUD will provide funding for transitional and other temporary rental housing assistance and supportive services to low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS who are victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. Grantees will be required to partner with local domestic violence and sexual assault service providers for client outreach and engagement and for comprehensive supportive services to ensure client success in the program.

HUD will hold a pre-application Webcast on Tuesday, September 8, 2015, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET for anyone who is interested in submitting an application for the VAWA/HOPWA Project Demonstration. The Webcast will cover the information in the NOFA. More information on the Webcast will be provided through the HOPWA mailing list. To sign up for the mailing list, please visit
the HUD Exchange.
