San Francisco aims to increase by 30% within the next five years the number of rental subsidies dedicated to people living with HIV and AIDS, and expand by a similar amount the overall number of those served through its HIV housing service programs overseen by a mayoral housing office.
At the same time, as the number of people living with HIV continues to fall in the city, its share of federal funding for HIV housing programs is expected to continue to decline.
By July 2022, the city expects to see an estimated $1 million reduction in its Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) allocation from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development; the current allocation is $6,220,119.
