The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced March 29 that more than 1,200 extremely low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS will continue to receive permanent housing as a result of nearly $33 million in grants HUD is awarding.
Annually, these grants will provide permanent supportive housing for over 1,200 households so they can manage their health and access needed supportive services such as case management and employment training.
In Chicago, the grants went to: Chicago Department of Public Health ($1,487,815), AIDS Foundation of Chicago ($1,476,160), and Chicago House ($1,285,370).
The anti-gay Salvation Army (in Los Angeles) also received some government funds.
