Positive Directions

Those who are homeless and living with HIV face several challenges. Many have mental illnesses like depression, or substance abuse problems that stem from their diagnosis. For those who are homeless and living with HIV, staying healthy is the most effective way to cope with the disease, and, in their cases, housing is health care. Stable housing provides the ability to take HIV medications on a regular basis safely, which is vital to living with the disease.
