The Frannie Peabody Center received a $1,376,726 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program (CFDA 14.241) for the performance period June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028. This award supports Haven's continued outreach to rural Maine, with services delivered statewide to low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS. The grant funds four primary service categories: tenant-based rental assistance for approximately 40 households annually, short-term rent, mortgage, and utility payments for approximately 20 households annually, supportive services for approximately 100 households annually, and permanent housing placement for approximately 5 households annually.

The HOPWA program provides comprehensive housing and supportive service interventions designed to address the housing instability and service needs of individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. The Frannie Peabody Center, a Portland-based nonprofit organization, leverages this federal investment to reduce homelessness, improve housing stability, and enhance access to care among vulnerable populations across Maine.
