Better Existence with HIV (BEHIV), through a contract by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA) program, is expanding its Safe Start Housing program, adding three additional units.
BEHIV’s Safe Start program offers independent scattered-site housing, intensive case management and additional services to homeless men and women who are disabled by HIV, active substance users and/or dealing with mental health problems. Housing units are located on Chicago’s North Side.
The new units should be filled before the end of January.
