AIDS Housing Since the early 1990s, HUD has funded the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) to assist households where one or more people are HIV+ or have AIDS. HACLB currently receives HOPWA funds to operate two housing programs: The HOPWA Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program is modeled after HUD's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and follows the same rules. The HOPWA Short-Term Assistance Program (STAP) provides periodic grants to help very low-income tenants catch-up with rent and utility payments and pay moving expenses. Two HOPWA Housing Case Managers assist very low-income tenants with their housing needs, weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Comprehensive AIDS Research Education (CARE) Program St. Mary Medical Center 411 E. 10th Street, Suite 107 Long Beach, CA 90813 562.624.4934 Leon: Monday - Friday Terry: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday Preventive Health Bureau City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services Suite 201 2525 Grand Avenue Long Beach CA 90815 562.570.4357 Terry: Tuesday and Friday Send an Email message to the Housing Authority.
