BACKGROUND:
|
The San Mateo County AIDS Program (SMCAP) receives Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding through a multiple year federal act administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The purpose of this act is to provide local communities with the resources to meet the housing and supportive service needs of persons with HIV/AIDS. Funds for the San Francisco Eligible Metropolitan Area, which includes San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties, are managed by the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco (SFRA). Each county receives a portion of the total award based on the number of persons living with AIDS within its jurisdiction.

SFRA has awarded SMCAP $694,000 in HOPWA funds for FY 2008-09. These funds will be used to provide short-term rent and mortgage assistance, benefits counseling, case management and attendant care services. Except for a minimal amount used for sub-grantee administrative funds, all of the funds from this grant will be used to contract for services with primary service providers.
