The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $971,945 to Interfaith Residence (doing business as Doorways) on January 27, 2026, under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program (CFDA 14.241) for a three-year period of performance ending January 26, 2029. The recipient will provide comprehensive housing and supportive services for low-income HIV-positive individuals in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Performance takes place at St. Louis, MO 63106.

Interfaith Residence established a sub-award with Fifth Street Renaissance, a Springfield, Illinois–based nonprofit, to deliver leasing assistance, tenant-based rental assistance, short-term rent and utility payments, supportive services, housing information services, and permanent housing placement services in Illinois under the same HOPWA award (sub-award designated ILH250002-IL-H250002, awarded March 12, 2026).

The HOPWA program provides states, units of local government, and nonprofit organizations with resources to devise long-term comprehensive strategies addressing supportive housing needs of low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. HOPWA funds cover a range of housing, supportive services, program planning, and development costs.
