Asociacion Puertorriquenos En Marcha, Inc.

The three-year grant, effective through May 21, 2028, supports housing and supportive services for low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. APM will deliver three primary service categories: tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA), permanent housing placement, and comprehensive supportive services, each targeting 43 low-income households with HIV.

As a bilingual, multicultural nonprofit organization serving predominantly Latino populations, APM leverages this funding to address critical housing stability needs for vulnerable populations through direct rental assistance and housing navigation services, complemented by supportive services including case management and healthcare coordination.
