Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA)

We can help with:
• Getting started: first month’s rent, security and utility deposits, and application costs
• Rent subsidies: HOPWA will pay the difference between 30% of your gross monthly income and fair market rent
• Emergency help: past-due rent, utility shut-offs, and mortgage help
ESSHI Program at Union Square
Trillium Health, in conjunction with Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI), and Home Leasing, are partnering on a housing project called Union Square located at 275 East Avenue.

*What are the IADLs?
