This special program from the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development and their HOPWA Program (Housing Opportunities for People living with HIV/AIDS) is designed to help low-income people stay in their housing and avoid eviction and/or utility shut-off. This is a short-term program that can help you get back on your feet. There are a few forms you will need to fill out. First, we need to determine your eligibility for this assistance based on your income. Let's get started by filling out this spreadsheet. Insert your income, by category, in the spreadsheet below. It is important to fill in the annual amounts. The spreadsheet will calculate your total automatically.
