Housing opportunities for persons with aids

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $887,238 to Cornerstone Services Inc. on March 13, 2026, under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program (CFDA 14.241).

Cornerstone will deliver permanent supportive housing and rental assistance for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families through March 12, 2029. Performance takes place in Shorewood, Illinois.

The HOPWA program provides resources to states, units of local government, and nonprofit organizations to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting supportive housing needs of low-income persons and families living with HIV/AIDS. Funding may be used for housing, supportive services, program planning, and development costs. The Performance Grant Agreement establishes a three-year period of performance beginning when the grant agreement is signed; grantees may request HUD approval for a twelve-month extension if funds remain unexpended at the end of the stated period.

Cornerstone Services Inc. is a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Joliet, Illinois, that delivers housing assistance and supportive services for homeless and housing-insecure populations, community mental health services, and substance abuse treatment. The organization operates primarily as a federal grant recipient rather than through federal contracts.
