  • Housing for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS
    Housing for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS Libby Perl Specialist in Housing Policy July 3, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34318 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Housing for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS Summary Since the beginning of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic in the early 1980s, many individuals living with the disease have had difficulty finding affordable, stable housing. As individuals become ill, they may find themselves unable to work, while at the same time facing health care expenses that leave few resources to pay for housing. In addition, many of those persons living with AIDS struggled to afford housing even before being diagnosed with the disease. The financial vulnerability associated with AIDS, as well as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS, results in a greater likelihood of homelessness among persons living with the disease. At the same time, those who are homeless may be more likely to engage in activities through which they could acquire or transmit HIV. Further, recent research has indicated that those individuals living with HIV who live in stable housing have better health outcomes than those who are homeless or unstably housed, and that they spend fewer days in hospitals and emergency rooms. Congress recognized the housing needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS when it approved the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program in 1990 as part of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (P.L. 101-625). The HOPWA program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), funds short-term and permanent housing, together with supportive services, for individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families.

Office of Institutional Research. PUB DATE Nov 87 NOTE 27p. PUB TYPE Statistical Data (110) -- Reports - Research /Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; College Faculty; Community Colleges; *Community Services; Comparative Analysis; *Credit Courses; *Enrollment Trends; *Noncredit Courses; *Off Campus Facilities; Program Descriptions; Statistical Data; *Student Characteristics; Two Year Colleges ABSTRACT The Division of Community Services (CS) is providing educational services to a growing percentage of the total student headcount enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia (CCP). Data from fall 1986 indicated that:(1) 51.1% of the students enrolled at CCP took their courses through the CS Division; (2) while credit-free enrollments grew, credit enrollments remained fairly constant; (3) in comparison to on-campus students, the CS students tended to be older, were more likely to be white, were less likely to indicate that they planned to earn a degree, and were more likely to be planning to enroll at CCP for only one semester; (4) 48% of the students enrolled in CS credit courses in fall 1986 indicated that that would be the only semester they would attend the college; (5) there was no significant movement of students from of-campus locations to the main campus, nor from the main campus to off-campus locations; (6) most classes in the CS Division were taught by part-time faculty members; (7) English and Business Division courses accounted for a large percentage of the courses offered in the division; and (8) grade distributions indicated that students in the CS Division received higher grades and were less likely to withdraw than their counterparts on campus.
