The three-year award extends through January 25, 2029, and funds housing assistance and supportive services for low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families within the San Francisco metropolitan area.

Under this award, the city delivers a comprehensive range of housing and supportive services authorized by the HOPWA program, including permanent housing assistance through both tenant-based (scattered-site) and facility-based rental assistance, as well as transitional and short-term housing assistance. Additional eligible activities funded through this grant include supportive services such as case management, healthcare coordination, program planning, and development costs. The city is required to identify specific eligible HOPWA activities in its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, maintain detailed financial records, and submit annual performance reports documenting grant expenditures, program accomplishments, and household outcomes related to housing stability, homelessness prevention, and access to care and support services.
