# Los Angeles Housing Department * United To House LA (ULA) # Services for persons living with HIV/AIDS 4. Services for persons living with HIV/AIDS ### Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS, also known as HOPWA, is a federally-funded program that provides assistance with housing and supportive services for low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
The program goals are to maintain stable housing, reduce the risk of homelessness, and increase access to care. Services are provided countywide. We partner with non-profit agencies and public housing authorities in Los Angeles County to provide direct housing and supportive services.
Minimum client eligibility requirements are listed below. Agency providers shall assess each client for minimum HOPWA eligibility and collect supporting documentation at intake. 1.
Low-income, which is defined as 80% of the Area Medina Income (AMI) with at least half of the clients at or below 30% AMI for the Los Angeles-Long Beach Metro Area as published annually by HUD. Some programs have a minimum income level of 50% AMI or require the person to be homeless, at risk of homelessness, or unstably housed.
