Housing opportunities for persons with aids

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $889,689 to Health Services Center, Inc. on February 10, 2026, under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program (CFDA 14.241). The award funds comprehensive housing assistance and supportive services for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Anniston, Alabama, through February 9, 2029.

Health Services Center, Inc. is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Anniston that delivers substance use disorder treatment, HIV prevention and care, mental health services, and housing assistance to underserved rural populations across a fourteen-county service area in northeastern Alabama. The organization operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, with 86 percent of recent awards as prime recipient. The HOPWA Project Grant supplements Health Services Center's existing HOPWA Formula Grant ($915,881, April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2027) and aligns with the recipient's portfolio of behavioral health interventions for persons living with HIV/AIDS, individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, LGBTQ+ populations, and other vulnerable populations. The recipient has operated as a nonprofit provider in its service area for over twenty-five years and maintains significant federal funding concentration through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Health Resources and Services Administration alongside HUD.
