Support Services
Housing Subsidies & Financial Benefits
We provide comprehensive benefit counseling and consultation for people who are living with HIV and need help with their current housing or health insurance. Our skilled counselors provide one-on-one advocacy, assessing what benefits clients are eligible to receive, and can also assist in the application process.
Housing Rental Subsidies
Rental subsidies for housing is a cost-effective HIV prevention and health care strategy; it reduces emergency and in-patient services and may prevent HIV transmission.
We assist clients in accessing San Francisco’s temporary rental assistance program that helps people living with HIV and AIDS and also experiencing poverty secure and maintain housing as well as provide necessary referrals to participants. Referrals come through the MOHCD Plus Housing waitlist.
For more information on how to get referred to the Subsidy Program visit the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development application page.
The rental subsidy program is accepting referrals from service providers only (not from clients). If you are a social worker or other service provider and would like to refer a client, please call the SFAF Housing Coalition Line at 415-487-3037 or email general@sfhousingcoalition.org.
Financial Benefits
Our benefit resource navigators offer comprehensive financial benefits counseling for people living with HIV and AIDS to ensure clients are accessing all public/private benefits for which they might be eligible, including Medicare, Medi-Cal, HealthySF, and the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), among others.
Working together, we can help connect you with health care and medication, and assist with navigating the complex benefits systems.
For more information or benefits assistance, please call 415-487-8023.
