AIDS Foundation of Chicago awarded HUD grant: Funds will help low-income patients get housing

Chicago Tribune - August 13, 2008

The AIDS Foundation of Chicago has been awarded a three-year grant of almost $1.4 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help low-income people with HIV/AIDS.

The funds will provide housing subsidies and support services to 33 households a year, the foundation said.

The foundation is the lead agency for the Chicago Housing for Health Partnership, a program that helps people with HIV/AIDS move from homelessness to permanent housing.

The grant is part of $19.4 million distributed to 18 local programs nationwide through the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program, which is part of HUD.
