The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the City & County of Denver's Office of Economic Development a $4,053,292 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Formula Grant on December 9, 2024. The HOPWA program provides federal funding to address the housing needs of low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families. The grant will enable the Office of Economic Development to deliver a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including tenant-based and facility-based rental assistance, transitional and short-term housing, permanent housing placement, case management, and related services. The funding aims to establish stable housing, reduce the risk of homelessness, and improve access to healthcare for this vulnerable population. As a Formula Grant, the activities to be performed will be outlined in the City & County of Denver's Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, and the Office of Economic Development will be required to report on grant expenditures, program accomplishments, and household outcomes related to housing stability, homelessness prevention, and access to care and support.
