Impact
Implementing and evaluating housing-related interventions for priority populations who experience the highest HIV-related disparities
SURE Housing initiative is implementing and evaluating housing-related interventions for HIV positive people, including youth and young adults (aged 18-24), people involved in the legal system, and people who identify as LGBTQ+.
The four-year project, funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau, funds 10 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) program sites across the United States. RWHAPs implement a housing-related intervention for one of the three priority populations. As the Evaluation Provider for the project, CISWH is responsible for designing, planning, and conducting a methodologically rigorous multi-site evaluation. The study team examines the implementation and client outcomes for the funded sites, and disseminates study findings through user-friendly products.
