The San Antonio Aids Foundation (SAAF) provides housing assistance for individuals who are currently enrolled in the program. These services include:

Transitional Housing

Because housing stability is a crucial element in maintaining an HIV treatment regimen, SAAF provides transitional housing for up to 15 individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The facility includes rooms for men, women, transgender, and non-binary people living with HIV. Residents may remain in the program for up to 180 days and are eligible to re-enter after 90 days. SAAF’s transitional house is a substance and alcohol-free environment.

Participants in the program are referred from organizations providing HIV services or other social support programs, such as justice system discharge units, hospitals, or drug treatment centers. Residents are required to pay 30% of their adjusted gross income in rent monthly.

Rental Assistance

Since 2000, the San Antonio AIDS Foundation has administered Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), a HUD program, assistance of up to 30 months – providing clients with long-term rental assistance.

Housing services are available for those currently enrolled in SAAF.
