housing is very important to help HIV/AIDS clients.I have been postive for many years and been on housing assistant for 1 year. The caseworker you handles my case treats the same as all of the other cases she has, however I'm alot different than her others cases. I have heart,thyriod,blood clots and seizures along with HIV. I live off of SSDI which is not much and she is taking away my housing because she wants me to see another therapist. I see one on a monthy basis,but thats not could enough.

Housing is a big problem here in Colorado a problem for people like me who struggle to pay there bills and mortgage and there is no help at all every cent I receive from my disability goes to bills food and my home . but there are people here that receive help from Hawpa and don't do anything to help them selves they get there rent paid there food paid there utilities played and they spend there disability check on drugs and going out and buying new clothes and do nothing to help them selves

We have all heard stories of people selling themselves, putting themselves in relationships that are unhealthy and unwanted, selling their blood or escaping reality by diving behind the clouded curtain of drugs because they have no place to call home. Providing a decent home is the most basic building block of residency that helps people feel safe, take fewer risks, get jobs and stay healthy. How can you expect to work, bathe, eat, stay healthy, and wash your clothes without a home?

as a person living with hiv i now how it would hurt all of us living with hiv the state of vt provided me with housing and in the future i may need it again and if we limited how long some one can live in housing then i think we are going againts helping every one with hiv for as long as we can some of the folks that live with hiv stay to them selves and live in the housing for the rest of there lives and suffering from depreshion so thanks for keeping this a policy and helping the hivpopulation

Yes people need housing no matter what! We need projects too that will help positive disabled people to remain in their home as well. leaky roofs, fallen in floors, and unflushable toliets are just a few things that need addressed, I know as my old home is falling apart. I have been here 32 yrs. Help is no where to be found.
